There it is again. That pesky, blinking cursor daring you to press those keys. It whispers:
“You’ve got some ideas. You’ve got some characters. Even a plot twist or two. But give me a good story. I double dare you.”
The hard news? Writing’s, well, hard. If a piece looks beautifully written with ease, I guarantee it made the author wish he was doing something else. Anything else. Fishing with his toes in the Arctic sea else.
The better news? There’s a way to make writing not so hard. Like fishing with a net in the Arctic sea. During a heat wave.
So how do you make writing mildly less painful than very hard? ‘Bout time you asked!
