Actually Keep It Up

The top advice to writers is to keep on writing. There are countless ways to say it. You're only a writer on days you write. Write a page a day and you will have a novel a year. Write nuggets of wisdom and they will become ingots of brilliance.

Easier said than done. Try actually keeping up with writing. There are plenty of times you don't want to, plenty of times you don't feel the passion, plenty of times you just want to sleep! Pathetic though it sounds, I have lost two or three hours just writing a blog post on more than one occasion, and they were hours that, had I been sleeping, would have made the next day way more pleasant.

But, you know what? I survived all of those 'next days'. I also had written something! Keep it up, people. It pays off.
