Create a bunch of jumbled up notes on your phone, written at all hours of the day, which make absolutely no sense to you later.
9.
Become filled with existential dread that maybe you’re a big fake with a ridiculous dream that thousands of other people with the same experiences and education share, that you have no original thoughts and no imagination. That you’ve been wasting your time and energy on something that will never come to fruition.
10.
Write a few words, feel suddenly better, picture what the movie of your book will be like.
