Write With RCS:
Start writing now and prepare later.
Don't spend a lot of time preparing to write. The important things happen during your writing. Allow yourself to proceed without a full plan and allow yourself to depart from whatever plan you have.
Try
not to let whatever you have learned about control to interfere with
your writing. Thinking about control leads to stuckness. Try to do as
the psychologists say and let go a bit. Being free to choose does not
mean making a single choice, the right one. It means being you; choosing
and re-choosing.
Digress and wander until your mind atrophies and falls off. Let yourself
forget being discriminating and sharp. Let yourself be open and
accepting.
A good practice may be to choose a topic you truly enjoy and beginning to write out all you know about that subject. You may find yourself writing quiet a lot; perhaps some that even seems worth re-writing.
Even if you have a topic that has little fascination for you, you may make a productive beginning by writing all you know about the subject and then beginning to write out all you don't know about it.
Start writing, then you can keep writing.
