Make a blank formatted manuscript template. Put all your information in
the upper left, leave room to insert rights and word-count in the upper
right, center "Title," "by," and your name, and type "Start here" where
your manuscript should start. Set up your double-spacing, and headers on
page two and following. Save this document as "Manuscript Template." When
you're ready to start a new manuscript, open this document and re-save it
with a new name--preferably a portion of your manuscript title. With
inserting only a few pieces of information (rights, your title, the title
in your header, etc.) you're ready to roll.
