EVERY DAY YOU SAY? WRITE EVERY DAY?  It is the key to good writing.  It doesn't have to be much, maybe a page or two but the consistency of writing every day seems to open your unconscious mind.  It shakes hands with your creativity and suddenly your poetry or fiction or non-fiction takes off.

WRITE FAST.  None of this thinking about every sentence, every comma, how things are spelled, whether the word is in the right tense.  In order to overcome fear and unleash your creativity you MUST WRITE AS FAST AS YOU CAN TYPE OR WRITE. Write and write and write. When you do this often enough magic happens: a story begins to unfold, characters come out of nowhere and demand to be noticed. It works every time - and it does not have to be with publishing in mind. Just do it for the pleasure of writing down your words - maybe you will publish - maybe not - but the joy of just doing the writing will never diminish. It also works for corporate writing.
