"The trouble is that when you're just beginning to write, you may believe that words committed to paper are sacred, fixed, immutable. But you're not dealing with a finished, printed, copyrighted book, only with an idea, a pile of words that change shape many times before they take shape as a book." --Dorothy Bryant
Take 10 minutes to write in your journal about any topic you'd like. Write for 10 minutes; don't stop to edit yourself.
Possible topic if you're stuck: Make up a character who will star in your first fiction story.
