The more you do it, the better you get. Getting started with your speechwriting.
It’s tough to start a speech. Often it is only at that moment you realise that the dogs need walking, your teeth need brushing and the plants need their water. Okay, I admit it, procrastination works sometimes but I find what helps the most is to ease into the writing zone by doing something related to my topic.
I might pull up a few web sites to get a new perspective on the speech I’m writing. I might sketch a draft with the points I will need to make. And yes, I may even water my plants, not mindlessly however, I’ll hold the garden hose and think about that darned beginning.
