Startup Author Hacks FOR WRITERS WHO CANNOT FACE THE BLANK PAGE

She didn't know how to begin, despite reams of notes, lots of social media posts and a journal about her wish to write.

​Stephen King once said that he couldn't understand why people with talent for writing didn't get started.

I understand the resistance. I've felt it too. So I've written Startup Author Hacks to help others overcome the scary notion of facing a blank pages.

Gather, organize and shape is a simple process for taking the raw materials you have -- despite how disparate they may seem -- and creating the guts of a novel, nonfiction book, screenplay or article.

• How much time do you spend posting on social media sites?  Have you ever revisited those writings?  Might they suggest or inspire a story or nonfiction book?
• Do you tend to jot notes on scratch paper and then toss them into a desk drawer?
• Or do you keep a journal, yet never harvest it for a book idea? ​

 
You very likely have the beginnings of .... something. A book or screenplay.  A poem or article.  Next, you want to learn how to write a story, long or short.

Go for it.

Startup Author Hacks is not a bunch of writing tips.  You need a plan, a method for facing the blank page. 

Some of the most successful authors worldwide would rather begin with something on the page.  Anything.  Even if it is sloppy.  Why? Because they know the road to perfection takes time. First they must get their raw ideas on paper or in a digital file.  Everything can be reworked.  But the blank page? ​

I begin with an idea. And then it becomes something else." —Pablo Picasso
