The key to writing is hard work and discipline - you sit your ass down on that chair and you write every single day. It's simple. One word after the other, day after day, on that blank white space - not really rocket science, is it? I've been trying to do just that for the past three weeks and I've succeeded...somewhat moderately. I'm down to Chapter 4.5 (I'm not quite sure whether to leave that scene to Chapter 4 or 5, so it's 4.5 for the time being).
Three weeks into the experience, all I have to say is that being a writer absolutely sucks. Because writing is
So, if you're about to go copycat on my move and give the boot to the job to go into full-time writing, think about it. Not once. Not twice. A million times. I know I did - it took me three months to take the BIG LEAP. If you think you want to write, make sure there's nothing else you'd rather be doing than writing :)
