She tells the story of her younger brother who put off a big project on birds for school. He was having a meltdown the night before it was due and her dad told him, "Bird by Bird Buddy,do it bird by bird." She also says that she keeps a small picture frame on her desk with a one inch blank square in it. She tells herself all she has to do is write one inch. Then, she will tackle the next inch. So, don't look at the big picture, just set small goals and before you know it, it will be done. Finally, write first, fix it later. Get something, anything down on paper. You can go back and edit it later, but if you don't write, you have nothing to edit. Hope it helps. Will you post your story on your blog? I would like to read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29399576.post-39828599751914418212007-04-09T20:54:00.000-04:002007-04-09T20:54:00.000-04:00You can do it!
