Even though your high school English teachers might have emphasized the importance of spelling and grammar, they probably didn’t give you any tips for how to manage your time or how to get beyond writer’s block.
Writing is like building a house. You have to put in the foundation first, before you start adding doors and windows. But if you don’t know the steps or don’t understand the order in which to approach them, you’re likely going to feel stuck before you even begin. Here are the key eight steps for writing (the book will reveal the final half step!)
- Make a plan
- Research

- Find your lede
