User blog:Melanie Jean Juneau/ Write. Just Sit Down and Start Writing.

  NaBloPoMo was my inspiration for all of November. This is a challenge to write, everyday, no matter what, It is a commitment. Interestingly, when I looked up sage  advice from famous authors,  their advice boiled down to the very same thing. Write, just sit down and start writing. Period. So now I present humourous yet pithy quotes from famous authors on the art of writing but first,  a summary of famous author's advice.

                   If you want to be a writer you obviously must write.

Don't talk about writing,

dream about writing

or read about writing,

just sit down and start writing

anything and everything,

even if it is a stream of consciousness,
