- Reposted by Rita E. GouldThis is so motivating: "Think small--build up from there." The best defence against the blank page! #WomenWritersNet #WritingCommunity #Memoir
- I teach this a lot. 'moments' are the best defence against the blank page. Think small - build up from there. But by 'moments' I mean those memories that have their claws in you because something was revealed or something was learned. it could be something small like witnessing a raindrop on a leaf.
