Blank screens can be paralysing. You’ve got ideas in your head, but when it’s time to put them into words, your brain freezes. Sound familiar?

We’ve all been there: the cursor blinks, and no words come. The biggest reason? Perfectionism. You’re trying so hard to get it “right” on the first try that you block yourself from starting.

Here’s how to move forward:

1) Set a timer. Give yourself 10 minutes to write anything—no editing allowed.

2) Start messy. It doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to exist.

3) Use prompts. Start with “What’s one thing I want my audience to know today?”

Writing isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection. Start small, and let your voice emerge.
