BIC= But in Chair:
I write one word then another then another until I have a sentence.
I write a sentence and then another then another until I have a paragraph.
I write one paragraph then another then another until I have a page.
I write a page then another then another until I have a chapter.
I write a chapter then another then another until I have a book.
But notice that I start with a word.
If I don't put that word down, I won't have a book.
Then the editor says that I have to make the book shorter. :(
I delete one word then another then another.
I delete one sentence then another then another.
I delete a paragraph then another then another.
I delete a page then another then another.
I delete a chapter then another then another.
Do I end up with a book?
Yes, I end up with a better book.

That's the way it often works for me, too, Carmen. I've written many chapters that will never get beyond my writing studio.
And you are so right. It all begins with that first word (which is sometimes near impossible to get down). I have to keep reminding myself that the first draft doesn't have to be perfect.
I love this. It's always hard to sit down and write but once I force myself then usually the ideas come. I just have to sit down more. Thanks for sharing.
