Where people usually get stuck on this one

When it reads flat

Find the sentence you are least sure about. What you actually meant is usually hiding there.

When the first line won't come

Skip it and start at the second. The opening writes itself once the rest exists.

When it all sounds obvious

Delete every line anyone could have written. What is left is yours.
