Write like the beagle

 

 

Lift your hands up, put your head down, and just write.

It brings to mind this quote from Hemingway, who, arguably, knew a thing or two about the how of writing:

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

When all else fails, follow the example of the beagle: start with the obvious and don't stop there. Keep on bleeding.
