I would stare at the screen and wait for some impressive words to enter my brain. I mean, I can see in my brain how it ends, but I needed the words. Words that didn't want to show up. So, I just started writing it out without worrying about it being prosy or impressive- hell, it might be as awful as a kindergartener's masterpiece, but it's on the page. In a few days, I'll that that crap and see if it can grow something better. I'll say it again- write the crap. Crap is good fertilizer.
