Starting the novel wasn't as difficult as I'd imagined. I put it off forever, then this evening as my son settled down to read his obligatory 20 minutes I turned on the computer and just started to write.
I'm not usually as intimidated by a blank Word document as others seem to be, and in this case I began not at the beginning of the story, but somewhere in the middle. I had no choice, really, as I don't have a plot so how can I have a first sentence?
It's not important that my novel start on page one at this point. The only important thing is taking that first step. Or in this case, typing that first word.
It feels great!

Nothing quite as scary as a blank page. I'm not a chronological writer either, but you have to go with you have, right?
