1. Keep writing. Don’t

stop to edit, to rephrase, to think. Don’t go back and read what you've written until you've finished.  [report anonymous abuse]

8.Tell the truth.

Be willing to go to the scary places that make you hand tremble and you handwriting get a little out of control.Be willing to tell your secrets.

9.Write specific details.

Your writing doesn't have to be factual,but the specificity of the details brings it alive.The truth isn't in the facts;it's in the detail.

11.read your writing aloud

after you have completed your practice session.You'll find out what you have  written,what you care about, when you are writing the truth,and when the writing is "working."

12.date your page and write the topic at the top.

This will keep you grounded in the present and help you reference pieces you might want to use in somthing else.
