Week 1 Recap

Thanks so much for a fantastic first session last week. Things are really taking off...



As promised, here are two lists:

Tips for Getting Started

  • Use an outline!
  • Write three different intros and pick the best!
  • Read good stuff
  • Wine (i.e., be relaxed)
  • Write a “vomit” draft – you can fix everything later

General Writing Tips


  • Cut as many words as possible (look for adverbs, of”s, and extraneous that's)
  • Read sentences backward
  • Deadlines!
  • Play classical music or jazz in the background (earphones preferred)

More to come!
