The most common complaint heard from creative writers concerns hitting that inevitable wall, referred to as writer’s block. If you don’t know what this phenomena is, let’s explain to you lucky writers. Let’s say you’re working on a novel. You’ve been moving along nicely for a few weeks, your thoughts spilling out as fast as you can type. For no apparent reason, you suddenly hit a point where you have absolutely no idea where you’re going in this chapter. Ideas fall flat. Words elude you. You seem to have nothing to say. You’re at a standstill. That’s writer’s block. Bad news.
Those first lines that seem so hard to come up with!
