It is a good idea to have a page in your notebook where you jot down, as they come to you, ideas of topics to write about. Add to the list any time you think of something. Then when you sit down to write, you can just grab a topic from that list and begin.
Making a list is good. It makes you start noticing material for writing in your daily life, and your writing comes out of a relationship with your life and its texture.
Naturally, once you begin writing you might be surprised where your mind takes the topic. That's good. You are not trying to control your writing. You are stepping out of the way. Keep your hand moving. (en) |
