Getting Unstuck

She said:

1. Start fresh.
2. Start in the middle of the story if you have to. We can stitch everything together later.
3. Great start. Now step back and let it go. Don't hang on to it too much.
4. Keep a file of snippets of random thought.
5. Maybe it would help if you say things first. Then write them down.
6. Go back to the moments that struck you. Write about sensory things. Insight will come later.
7. Writing helps process the experience.
8. Do not use first person.
9. Don't judge a place. It can be different for everybody.
10. Focus on what strikes you the most.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
