I understand how challenging it can be just getting started on a piece.

For me, the point is to just start. I usually just pour out everything I think I might want to say in a piece without trying to polish, edit or shape it. Then I reread it several times with attention to shaping and editing it. Sometimes I know where it’s going to start and end. Sometimes I don’t. Usually where it’s going to start is determined by the very thought that inspired me to write the piece in the first place.

I don’t know that this is helpful at all, but the way to get started writing is to just start. Rather than sit at the computer for 10 or 15 minutes mulling over what to write first, simply get it out onto the screen and go from there.

I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.

I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Thank you!

Just noticed you blogging about your Fairfax Public Access cable show taping. I, too, did my first tv experience a few days ago, with Jorge and Gina (both vegans). Extraordinary experience and I’m so nervous about seeing how it all went. It’ll be broadcast next month.

So my congratulations! So much learned, will have to get back to Fairfax next month to see the results. You, by the way, did a great job!

Best regards, Mark http://www.soulveggie.com (where I posted a quick photo collage… I wrote the 1st vegan pizza cookbook and that’s why I was invited)
