Steps When You Can’t Get Started Writing
Starting to write is difficult, when you have no flow of ideas. I think many of you encountered this issue, and Judy Rose has no exception. She got together a set of steps to help herself on walking the first step. Once you have the first step, the flow will come:
- Identify the purpose in your own mind
- Let the reader know the purpose
- Set the context
- Know what you want to tell the reader
- Organize your points in logical order
- Before you close, repeat the purpose of the letter
- Get rid of the mistakes
- Think about whether the letter is too long
- Watch out for that nasty computer!
- Put it down. Have a drink of water. Come back and read it again
- Reconfirm that you’ve done the job
Does it make sense? What are your ways to help yourself started on writing?

Hi, I like the way you help yourself start writing. I usually set what I want people to understand from my story, then I just start writing. Many times it happens that the initial thought gets lost, but I find myself with a brand new story that I did not want to write – if I like it, then it’s OK, I publish it, else I leave it and revise it after one week – then I decide if it lives or dies.

I usually come up with ideas when I am away from my computer. I like to use the basics, a pencil and a paper, and brainstorm and write as many points as I can, it doesn’t matter if they are relevant to the main topic or not, then I evaluate each point.
