This is the start of a series of helpful tips for that writer in your life, possibly yourself, who finds him or herself bogged down in a spaghetti plate of procrastination, with a side of writer’s block meatballs, a sprinkling of self-doubt Parmesan cheese, and armed only with a fork made out of horsehair.
