"Just write."

It is probably the most common piece of writing advice out there. And for some people, it works beautifully.

But if you are a structured person, someone who needs to know where they are going before they can move, those two words will not free you. They will freeze you.

You are not staring at the blank page because you are lazy or uninspired. You are staring at it because your brain needs a map before it can start the journey.

So here is what you do instead. Before you write a single word, draw up an outline. Write down every topic, every chapter, every point you want to make in your book. Get it all out of your head and onto paper. Then look at that outline and ask yourself, what do I want to write about right now?

Start there.
