How to start/finish - & other useful blog posts?
Leo Babauta of Zen Habits has a post on how to start something new, as well as one on how to finish. Zen Habits is a sort of minimalist productivity blog, so it's no surprise that his posts (brief ones, both of them) focus on making things simple.
I thought of fic, naturally: Write one sentence. Or one paragraph. That's how, maybe, you could start something.
On a related note, are there any creativity or inspiration blogs people find useful? I am so torn on them (& books on similar topics)--a lot of the time I read them & cringe, either because they seem rather out of touch w/how a lot of people live, or because they just seem... embarrassingly hippy-dippy (though I appreciate that this reaction could mean that this is just what I need!).
Then again, I have the same reaction to Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way--& I've abandoned lots of things she suggests, because they just don't feel right to me. But 750 Words is based on one of her ideas, & I absolutely would not be here writing fic w/o that site & doing that practice.
Like most other things, I guess it's just about finding the gold among the dross. So! Anyone have any relevant sites they like?
