Writing is hard, pure and simple. Talking to each other, chatting online, or even writing a letter are merely our simple ways of communicating with each other. But, to go beyond and truly write, espeically formal writing, is like practicing a craft. With this in mind, trades are difficult and take practice and as such starting the process is the hardest part. I find the best way to start writing is just to write on paper and get words out. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, that part comes later, but was does matter is that thoughts are being recorded and the creative writing process starts. Eventually, you will get a feel for what you want to write and you can expand upon that, just by wrting down a few sentences, statements, or ideas on paper. For the best writers are the best between the transittion between the mind and the paper. ~ M. Nowell
