Writing Well

How to start writing

Copywriter Vikki Ross shares some tips on getting started when you’re staring at a blank page.

Key Takeaways

1

Forget the brief for a second and just start writing. Anything. In your own voice.

2

Once you’ve warmed up a little, make a checklist of the things you want to say in your copy to go back to once you’ve written your first draft.

3

Flick through a magazine to trigger other words that you could use in your copy.

4

Trust in your subconscious. Take 2 minutes to clear your mind before jumping into the next project.
