I got up early to write this morning — so I’d better start writing.
It’s really that simple. (I said simple, not easy.)
Over and over again, in the books that purport to tell the secrets of a successful writing career, I see the refrain. Writers write. Writers write.
So … Writers: Write.
The words don’t come if you don’t pick up the pen, or plant yourself in the chair, fingers at the keyboard, or somehow attached to a microphone and dictation app — you get the idea.
The words don’t come if you don’t write them down or otherwise preserve them in some way.
You say, “I’m a writer, but I haven’t found the time to write”? Then you’re not a writer.
