The defining lines of reality have always been a bit blurred for me.

A writer writes. There are no exceptions to this reality. No excuses. Stop wasting time talking about your stories and get them on paper.

And this is the least quiet place I__e ever been in my life. _ It__ like taking the bar exam at Coachella. It__ like, __m, I really need to concentrate on this! Guys! Can you all just_I have to_It__ super important for my law!

Your first written sentence is the foundation of all of your dreams.

When we sit down to write, we psychically enter a sanctuary. This safe haven is our own personal space where we can say whatever is on our mind, where we can talk about what matters most to us, where we can imagine the kind of world that we would like to live.

Folding the laundry, completing another project at work, or watching television for the next hour doesn__ build your writing muscles. It only leaves them flabby.

..here's the editor's prescription, writer: 1000 words daily until next checkup.
