1. buy a pencil and paper. get a
writing program and a keyboard.


2. spill all your ideas into a notebook
that will never see the light of day.
write down literally every idea you
have that even sort of relates to the
scene/chapter/book that you want
to     write    until     your   thoughts
converge     on a    pointed attack.


3. quality vs. quantity? no competition.
quantity all the way. the more you write,
the better you will know your story.
worry about Quality LATER.


4. think about where the idea came
from. go there. set up a cardboard
box        and       live     there.    this
is            your           home        now.


5. what is the coolest, most self-indulgent
thing you can think of? that's what you
want to write at this point, until you get
some steam. short-term goals, my friends.
and by short-term, i mean a minute from
now, ten seconds from now. what are you
going to do to write RIGHT NOW? stop
thinking about an hour from now, stop
thinking     about. a      day     from     now.


6. this is not a book. this is not a book.
you are not   writing a book. you are
writing a story. a story is much easier
to take bites out of than a book. a book
is   a big,   scary, colossal thing. stories
are            fun              and            carefree.


7. get yourself a writing friend.
a cactus, an   old bottle of nail
polish, a fish in an appropriately
sized tank, etc. make them hold
you                          accountable.


8. set crazy low goals. promise
yourself you will write ten words
today. ten   words and you will
be the best writer in the entire
world         to           ever         exist.


9. accomplishing things is a
morale    booster    and will
urge you   to   write   more.


10. just keep writing. i believe in you.









A NOTE.

head is going to explode.
