When it’s hard to write

When it’s hard to write, set an alarm for just a minute or two. And then, just go. See what happens, where your brain goes, what hornet’s nest gets stirred up. 

Treat this as your warm-up lap. 

Because, when you go into it thinking of it as a warm-up lap, you know it will be slow, sloppy, clunky, stiff, awkward. And that’s totally okay. 

You know it’s the first move you need to make for the game.
