All 3 things that I have on various backburners have started because a single sentence came to me and demanded that I did something with it. I kind of just let the initial thoughts flow out onto the page and then did the rest of the work in terms of getting characters and something that can be called a plot afterwards. I'm looking to complete a first draft of one of them in the next few weeks, so it appears to have worked for me!
I love that! I think a lot of people get caught up in the pressure of a perfect, pristine first step, but really, your door into a new project can be as simple as a single sentence. Good luck getting to the end of that first draft!
