Start at the beginning....

I've been telling stories my whole life, to my sister when we were kids, to myself, to whoever would listen. I write them down, get distracted and abandon them. I need some guidance clearly. Someone to say, slow down, don't lose focus, get a grip on the plot and keep going. So there's this (and this), guidelines from some of the best writers around, including some of my favourites. This could be the year I finally crack the writer's block and produce something I don't abandon when I can't think anymore. Concentrate. And go!
