"Don't wait. Writers are the only artists I know who expect to get somewhere by waiting. Everyone knows you have to dance to be a dancer, you have to sing to be a singer, you have to act to be an actor, but far too many people believe that you don't have to write to be a writer. So instead of writing, they wait. Isaac Asminov said it beautifully in just six words "It's the writing that teaches you." Writing is what teaches you. Writing is what leads to inspiration. Writing is what generates ideas. Nothing else-and nothing less." - Daniel Quinn
