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!
