Writers, keep writing!
Please remember that writing is not inspired from some external source, and it does not come in one burst of activity.
While talent matters, what is far more important is the ability to be disciplined and to work every day, to put pen to paper, or sit in front of the keyboard and to create even when things are not going well.
Hard work, discipline, and commitment are the most important qualities that are needed for creating a written work.
Try to write every day, even if your goal is only a couple of hundred words.
Keep writing!

Thank you for this – I have been finding it really difficult to sit down and write recently, and I was putting it down to a lack of external stimulus/inspiration. But this post has helped me to rethink my own position in conceiving of and executing ideas.

This is the biggest peice of advice any writer can get, I think. You’ll never get anywhere if you don’t put the effort in and keep writing.

This is simple advice, concise, right to the point. It is, however, more difficult to do than it should be (at least for me). Your words help though. Thanks.

You are welcome. I also suggest that you simply draft and do not worry about revision until a draft is done. Do not strive for perfection at the first draft.

I agree. I write every day and try to encourage others to do the same. Some days I am more successful than other days, but the word count adds up. The best part is I have words on the page I can edit and polish. Thanks for the encouragement.
