“It is perfectly okay to write garbage — as long as you edit brilliantly.”
After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.
Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up.
Find your best time of the day for writing and write. Don’t let anything else interfere. Afterwards it won’t matter to you that the kitchen is a mess.
