We receive several posts about writing everyday and many cover ground already trodden before. Sometimes nothing special but then two come along together as today.
Having made a start in June 2010 and then seen many people with a book in them not being able to start ... the message in this post from Bobbi Linkemer is relevant. Maybe the world has already reached a stage where it is buckling under the weight of books looking for readers ... but then if you write for pleasure it does not matter one can have a good time just writing without caring about publishing so have fun and make a start ... on non fiction or fiction.

Amended extract about not making a start in the plural ...
This is very sad because one of the hardest things to come up with is a good idea. Authors with a good idea, an idea they love, have two of the six elements they need to write, publish, and promote a book—desire and a concept. The other four are a plan, a long attention span, discipline, and support.
From our experience we also had the first two and to some extent, varying each week, the other four. We would add another ... time. Like a good whisky writing needs to mellow and mature so after making a start there is no need to hurry ... enjoy the scenery of a writers journey.
Thanks to Bobbi for her ideas based on many years experience.
