    Start with an outline! That always helps me when I am faced with a blank sheet of paper!

    Thanks for all your support, all!

    We're not allowed to start writing till Tuesday early a.m., one minute after midnight actually.

    But we can outline and I've started...

    I'm so sorry to hear that you have been feeling down lately. I pray that writing your story out will make you feel more chipper.
    From reading the bedtime story it is quite clear that you have the talent for writing. I'm sure once you start, it will all go very smoothly.

    In the words of my former high school English teacher, Mrs. Desmond:

    Columbus took a chance and look what he found!

    Go for it and good luck!!!!!

    I would hate to have to write with a deadline. Why don't you just try to
    find a quiet spot, light your favorite scented candle & invite your muse by
    pouring a small glass of good wine. Best of luck. I know you can do it.

    AmberLee, I've always thought that you have a very creative mind, a wonderful sense of humor, and you're also able to express yourself with words extemely well. I know that you can do this. Good luck.

    They always say that the hardest part about writing is the first blank piece of paper - or blank monitor screen in your case.

    Take a deep breath - calm down - let your creative thoughts come to the forefront - and GO FOR IT!

    I bet you will have to do some editing because you will scream past 50,000 words in a heartbeat!
