Warm Up

Whenever I begin to write, it takes a few minutes to warm up. My thoughts don’t flow well until I’ve jotted down a few paragraphs of nonsense or disconnected ideas.

It’s difficult to concentrate on any idea when you’re staring at that computer expecting the words to appear by themselves. The best thing to do is to start typing…anything.

Allow the words to flow, whether or not they make any sense. Turn off that little critic in your mind that says that every line has to be perfect. Trust your own desires. You’ll soon realize that what you initially wrote develops into something else entirely.

Soon enough, the words come out faster and the first page becomes the third before you know it.
