That's what I mean:
One young man annoyed Brecht with a requst of advice: "I  am
full of creaitive desings.  I can write a excellent novel...
One circumstance, however, thwarts me -- I don't know how to
begin."

Brecht  simpered:  "Take a blank sheet of paper and begin as
all do -- from the top-left corner."
