f you want to run a marathon, you would not stay in your seat, playing a video game, waiting until you feel ready to begin. Instead, you would begin by stretching, training, and practicing in order to go the distance on the appointed day. Writing, like running a marathon, is a skill and an event for which you train. You must begin by beginning. I will help you go the distance to deliver your message on paper, and you will be proud of your achievement.
