I'm Never Staring at a Blank Page.

The key to effective writing is to prepare the night before by brain dumping ideas, letting them marinate overnight, and outlining while walking. Utilizing six questions at the top of the page helps in gaining clarity on the problem, solution, benefits, promise, emotion, and call to action. By jotting down bullet points and constantly refining the draft, the writer never faces a blank page, ultimately avoiding perfectionism and staying ahead of the curve. Editing is seen as the writing process, aiming to remove, organize, and distill information. The writer believes in publishing even if the work doesn't feel completely ready, as no piece of writing is ever truly finished. The strategy of prepping the page before stepping away allows the brain to assemble thoughts, reducing the overwhelming pressure of facing a blank page.
