It's amazing, though, how getting those first few words down can burst open a dam of creativity.Susan F.

The hardest part for me is often getting the first words down on the page, but then I enjoy tinkering from there.

When it comes to video games they persist--life after life, but when it comes to writing, they just want to "get it done."
