- The seven steps of the writing process
- How to get Help!
- Getting started. I can't think of anything to write ; I hate writing assignments and other people's ideas ; I have trouble doing all the research
- Getting your act together. My work habits are so disorganized ; I can never find what I need when I need it ; I have too much material to handle
- Finding focus. I don't know what my story is really about ; I have trouble with the beginning ; I have problems selecting my best stuff
- Looking for language. My vocabulary is so limited ; My early drafts are littered with clichés ; My words don't make things clear
- Building a draft. I am totally blocked ; I can't stop procrastinating ; I have trouble working from a plan
- Assessing your progress. I'm slow and miss my deadlines ; My middles sag ; It never ends well
- Making it better. I don't know what to revise and run out of time ; My work is way too long ; I resent criticism and editing
- Keeping the faith
