Step One: First, you need words, add creativity, and stir. There, now that you have all the raw materials, stare at a blank page or screen until you start crying, congratulations, you are now in phase one of becoming a writer.
Step Two: Repeat step one until you actually start putting some of the words down. Take what you can get. Save it and walk away, you have written.
Step Three: Go back to whatever you wrote before and write some more.
Step Four: Sometimes this step gets mixed up with step three, and that is just fine, it happens. Look at what you have written and try not to throw it away, delete it, burn it with fire. You're probably going to anyway, but try not to.
Step Five: Get back to it and write again.
Step Six: Back to staring, but this time out the window.
Step Seven: During a shower or right before falling asleep, you will know exactly how to fix every problem with your writing and immediately forget it as soon as you are able to write it down.
Step Eight: Repeat steps five through seven scrambling them together while casting angry glares at your laptop.
Step Nine: Get your butt in your seat repeatedly, especially when you don't feel like it until you have finished that piece.
Step Ten: Cake... eat it... You're a writer who finished something freaking celebrate.
Step Eleven: REST
Step Twelve: Start back at step one.
