Fіrѕt off I would like to saү superb blog!
I had a quick queѕtion in which I’d like tߋ ask if you do not
mind. I was curious to know howw yoou center yourself
and clear your head prior to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thougցhts in getting my ideas
out there. Itruly do enjоy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15
minutes are usually wasted just trying to figuree ouut һow tto begin. Ꭺny ѕuggeѕtions or tips?
Thanks!
This is what works for me… YMMV (your mileage may vary):
First off, I draft – it takes the pressure off me if I know what I am writing is not the final, and it’s OK to not be perfect out of the gate.
Secondly, and related, I write down what I know or what comes naturally first. For example, I am writing an article on the GAO report on derisking on the SW border – and what I am doing first is writing down data points from the report and FinCEN’s response letter. I am also drafting the end, where I come up with my “big finish” – in this case, that perhaps the base issue (which is not really derisking) would be better helped by clearer examination and enforcement guidelines (such as OFAC’s Enforcement Guidelines). I just get the ideas and data points out on paper (well, a Word or Pages doc), and then I start organizing the pieces into a coherent story. I make sure to write a lead-in section to the main part of the article, so people know what they are about to read, and I try to have the concluding section hark back to the beginning (and the title).
Also, I find it helps to have a snappy title – it motivates me. This article is currently titled “Border Less”…
Oh, and I am not afraid to find more data from other sources, or to prune items that don’t add to the flow of the article, or add to the points I am trying to make. That doesn’t mean I eliminate stuff that disagrees with my point – it’s more that I choose to leave the sprinkles and the maraschino cherry off the top of the sundae. Still yummy, but the extras just mean it takes more time and effort to digest – and you need to keep your audience’s interest.
Hope that helps.
