| May 30, 2018 at 16:46 | comment | added | user96551 | @Amadeus: Just to be clear, I was not questioning the ability of the site's users to provide an answer but commenting on the fact that these are all mental blockades and the one of the best ways to resolve it is to power through them by just writing... | |

| May 23, 2018 at 13:22 | comment | added | Amadeus | @user96551 : 'I don't believe you are going to find an answer other than "Just Write"' Read my answer: Do a more thorough job of imagining what you wish to write about first, before you write. | |
| May 23, 2018 at 12:47 | comment | added | robertcday | Nicely put, @Amadeus - aside from your choice of tense in the first sentence. Five days in and I'm a learnin' quick. ;) | |
| May 23, 2018 at 12:35 | comment | added | Amadeus | Your problem (in asking questions) is you haven't understood the constraints on questions, which are simple: We want questions focused on the craft of writing specifically that would not apply to other creative art forms (painting, sculpture, music) or other non-creative professions (fireman, store management, accounting). This particular question is fine, I might relate the blank page to a blank canvas or sheet of music, but IMO the answer (like mine) is different enough to count as a "writing problem." Some of your other Q are so broad they are not unique to the craft of writing. | |

| May 23, 2018 at 9:51 | comment | added | GGx | I wouldn't worry too much about getting your questions right first time. I've never seen a question closed on here without some kind of comment to help the OP reword and I've very rarely seen any kind of antagonistic comment resulting from a poorly-worded question. As we have discussed, compared to other sites, it's very friendly here. So ask away! Like shitty first drafts, questions can easily be edited! | |

| May 23, 2018 at 8:41 | comment | added | Totumus Maximus | It took me years before I actually started filling that first blank page. The first part of starting is to accept the first draft will be shitty anyway. Then you can just start do the best you can and later review it when you learned what works and what does not. | |
