If you're staring at a blank page, you're doing it wrong. This deserves a longer treatment, but here's the short version: consider shifting some of the energy you spend on writing away from the creation of finished products (articles, short stories, whatever) and onto the ongoing maintenance of some kind of system for storing and fleshing out your ideas. Sitting down to write an article or story shouldn't be the beginning of a process, in which you have to decide what to write about, then go do research, think of things to say, etcetera. That's the arduous path. The easier one is to keep a constantly expanding storehouse of notes on what you're reading and conversations you're having, observations on life, shower thoughts, and so on. That way, sitting down to write an article is just the end stage of the process, a matter of bringing together various insights, facts and quotes you've been collecting and cross-fertilizing for months.

Forse esiste…
