How to write. Do it this way and that. Methods as varied as the writers themselves. However, Steven Pressfield's is newly fresh--just like the pieces of laundry (scenes) hanging from its line. If you're a confused and bewildered writer, try it. Didn't we always learn the KISS method is the best?

Writing Do's and Don'ts courtesy of astounding plotter and prolific author, John Grisham!

My favorite suggestion is to not write the first scene until you know the last. Then you have a destination in mind, which should make the journey a heck of a lot easier.
