Empty page = empty mind?

Starting a story is one of the hardest things for me. Ideas are everywhere. I’ve got ideas jotted on sticky notes and outlined in several idea notebooks. Now where to begin?

Here’s a list of several ideas to jump start your word count (hopefully):

Personal Vignette

 Humor

 Surprising Fact

 Unusual Idea

 Question

 Quote

 Dialogue

 Smack in the Middle of the Action

(skip that boring intro)

 Now Get to work!
