Writer’s block?
Three ways to start
writing when you feel
like you can’t
1. Jot down anything that comes
to mind.
THEN
2. Use a spidergram (or other
organizational tool) to see if
subjects, topics or ideas are
related or linked to each other.
Doodle – in an organized way
Write down three sentences that cover points you want to make about
your topic. Then, for each, write three further sentences that support or
elaborate on them. You could end up with the foundations for 12
sentences or paragraphs – that’s a good beginning.
Topic/Thesis
statement
Three
statements
about the topic
Three further
statements
about each
Use the power of three
Start by writing about something you really know well
We speak and write more fluently about subjects we know and hold
dear than about those for which we cobble together ideas and points
from various web sources. Start from the heart!
