The blank page is where most young writers freeze. First Spark melts it.

Nothing scares a student like an empty page. First Spark breaks it open: Socrates asks questions and, following the student’s own answers, turns scattered thoughts into the beginning of a book, without writing a single word for them.

Not “just write something.” Instead: “let’s find your book, together.”
