Quick Tips
The best way to start writing is to start! If you don’t have any ideas, or you have a small idea that is not fully formed yet then do the following exercise:
Write down 10 ideas, or 10 additions to your small idea. Even better if you write 20. Once you have written them down, go through them and cross out the ones that you don’t like, seem lame, don’t have enough to them etc.
Basically, your first few ideas are usually rubbish or at least need refining. The more you write, the more your creative juices will flow and the ideas towards the end of your list will be good solid starting points.
