1. Decide that you want to write something involving lists. Begin five different lists, erasing each before moving on to the next:

I. A list of reasons why a character (indistinct enough to be anyone but you) hates his (fictional) girlfriend. Come up with a clever reason why the list turns from hating her to loving her before the fifth item, which should necessarily be "your waffles."

II. A guide to being a socially passive introvert that borrows too heavily from your real life to be interesting.

III. A recipe for disaster, borrowing again from your life, specifically a traumatic incident involving some girl for whom you set up an extremely elaborate treasure hunt which turned out to be an utterly fruitless attempt at winning her heart.

IV. A list about how to walk around the streets of Seattle drunk, looking for something elusive, before finally giving up and heading back for home, buzzing yourself into your apartment building, and swaying in the dimly lit elevator, maybe even singing to yourself a little. End the list with "sink your head into a pillow, feel the room spin about on the X-axis like a drunken top," then erase it because you hate your own redundant analogy.
