Some cool advice from Neil Gaiman
Hi Mr Gaiman, I'm pretty sure your answer is going to be something along the lines of "just write" but, I am having trouble starting on my book. I have plans, I have a path. But my brain is having issues stepping over the threshold as it were. Neurodivergence is a bit shit like that. Is there any advice you could give?
For me, the best thing to do is to persuade my brain that I'm not actually working, that I'm doing stuff that doesn't matter. Look, I'm not even typing. I'm just scribbling down some ideas. With a pencil! And now I'm typing up notes.
Do something that your brain can't stop you doing, whether it's handwriting or dictating or writing on old brown paper bags or big post-it notes.
