Just write anything until you write something

[image error]

There are a number of things you can do with a blank piece of paper, or a blank screen.

You can stare at it.

You can write on it.

You can draw on it.

(You can also make paper airplanes and origami, but for purposes of this post, well stick with things that involve writing implements.)

Staring at it is the least productive option. Staring usually involves mental paralysis, perhaps even fear that you or I will have nothing worthwhile to say.

And you know how I sabotaged the process just then?
