A writer must be hard to live with: when not working he is miserable, and when he is working he is obsessed. Or so it is with me.

Just start at the beginning, you say? And what beginning might that be? I've come to the conclusion all starts are false ones. Tap the fragile shell of any beginning and you'll find another nested inside. ↗
