So You Want to Write?
by Harry on Apr.15, 2009, under Writing
Author Stephen King once was asked the question (and I’m paraphrasing) “I’ve always wanted to write but just can’t sit down and actually do it. Any advice?”
His reply: “a writer writes.”
That, to me, is pure genius. Genius most often lies in taking a complex idea and making it simple. It’s all about attitude, in my opinion. If you want to write, start writing. It doesn’t have to be earth-shattering stuff. Above all, be yourself and just put something down. If you’re not happy with it, change it. If you think your story, article or blog is going nowhere, just take a break and revisit it when you’re in the mood. Don’t force it. Do it when you want to, you’ll enjoy it more, and the result will be more pleasing to you and your readers.
