I don’t know why we humans seem to be wired that way, but just sitting down and opening up the project is definitely the hardest part. But kudos to you for sticking with it and getting those words on the page! 🙂

It’s the opening the laptop and then the document in the first place that is the real sticking point!

Hey, Susan! Good to know I’m not the only one that heads for the kitchen and/or cleaning supplies when I’m in avoidance mode…lol! Let me know how ODD works for you! 🙂

Will have to try the ODD method this weekend and see if it works!

“Multi-fanged death monster”…LOL! Yep, I think I have seen the page that way too many times. 🙂 But thanks so much for the kind words, and I’m glad that it resonated with you as a trades/industry/tech writer!

For those of us who write (even peeps like me who write for trades/industries and technical stuff), getting started is epically tough. You’d think the blank page is a multi-fanged death monster or something. This is great Mary! Keep it up!!
