Remember Home Room?
You know the class in the beginning of the school day when the teacher told you to just read or write for thirty minutes?
Do that with your writing. Start small (or for a short period of time.)
Just like with any other endeavor, it takes a little time to gain momentum. Writing is no different. Even if you have the greatest of ideas, and you feel like it's going to come blowing out of your ass, you'll soon find out that it doesn't last long.
Good story's take time.
So yes, write down your original premises and all the parts of the story that come to you at that time then...let it breathe.
Close the notebook, put the laptop away and find something else to do with the rest of your day, and come out to play tomorrow. But why Michael? Shouldn't I keep going?
No.
And here's why, you want to be excited to come back the next day.
Example: Have you ever gone to the gym for the first time in a while? Once you pull yourself out of bed and get there you feel great. You push and you pull, and you run like nobody's business. You leave and you're on cloud nine wondering why you ever stopped, right? THEN...!
The next day you feel like you got ran over by a truck. You have aches and pains and your so sore you can barely walk at to your car in the morning. Now, are you going back to the gym today? What about the next day or the next? Probably not.
Same thing with writing.
Some of my most brilliant story ideas (I think all my story ideas are brilliant *arrogant) never flushed out to a full draft because I wrote everything out in one session without giving it the time it deserved to develop in my mind.
Harder is often not Smarter. Take your time, get thirty minutes of pure writing under your belt comfortably then an hour then two and next thing you know you'll achieve flow state, and you won't know where three hours went.
The magic happens here.
Next thing you know you have a first draft done. And that's what writing story is right? You can't have a beginning, and middle with no end.
Give it a try, and if that works for you let me know. Also, share your experiences in the comments if you have any.
And you know what to do after that, KEEP WRITING.
Later Ya'll
Michael
