When Christy told her friend Phil Partington that we were addressing the question “How do you begin to write?,” he asked, “What do you mean? How do you begin writing a book? How do you begin a writing session? How do you begin writing again after a long break?” In this episode we cover ideas for all of those moments of beginning. We also cover writer’s block: great suggestions for causing it and how to get beyond it.
