Write a story as if you’re talking to a friend in a bar about something that has to be told, quickly, before the check comes. That tends to fire the imagination to the point of finishing the arc–and, for novels, always finish the first draft before re-working the beginning. Stick to what’s urgent–and always write to the one or two people who would get it, not to the “readers” or the “market.” Just keep it simple, like telling your mother a story about why you’re home late from school–cause you had to stop and explore a deserted house and what you found inside that made you so late coming home.
