We've all been
there, staring at a blank page with no idea where to start. Every word
we write sounds stale, stupid, and uninteresting. The first thing you
need to realize is that writer's block is a self-propelling mechanism --
the more you don't write, the more you feel you can't write. The more
you feel you can't write, the more you feel hopeless and helpless to
try. This is true of all types of writing projects from essays to
novels.
When was the
last time you had fun while you were writing? When was the last time
your writing attempts made you laugh? When was the last time you wrote
just because you love to write?
By following
the exercises, examples, and guidelines within these pages when
you sit down to write, you will no
longer have to dread staring at a blank sheet of paper or blank computer
screen. It doesn't matter if you are writing
for fun, business, school, or have aspiring dreams to become a freelance
writer, these guidelines can help you WRITE anything!
