Writing is work. Don't try telling that to your non-writing friends, of course, but writer's know that to sit and crank out words can actually be a chore, especially if you are feeling unmotivated. Sometimes getting that first word on paper can be torture. If you can use these simple tricks, you'll be typing away like a court stenographer.
Because, by just starting to type, you give yourself a huge
opportunity to come up with a brilliant lead, or to even come up with another
story idea. Much like how I am now considering writing a book on hyperbole. A
book, I may add, that will likely become the greatest book ever written.
