Beginning/very new writers worry about a lot of things. How do I start? What if all my ideas are stupid? What can I do to make my work salable? Should I dig a hole in the woods and bury my computer and then dive to the bottom of the sea & be eaten by starfish? These are all valid questions. But!

The good news is that there will be plenty of opportunities to revisit these questions along the way, sometimes on a daily basis.

I still wonder about the hole in the woods option.

Every worry to its proper time and place. Now--"You are staring at a blank screen and a blinking cursor" now--none of those worries are relevant. You will burn those bridges when you get there. Right now, put the words down. They don't have to be good. Start anywhere.

Incidentally, being eaten by starfish would be much much better (in terms of net environmental benefit) than cremation. Of course, then the starfish would develop the taste for human flesh... 😈

Thank you for this. I'm in the process of my MA and this was the most relevant thing I could have read
