To never quit. Keep writing. Write all the time, and it will happen. Sometimes it just takes awhile.
by Gina April 25th, 2005 at 9:37 pmTo strike while the iron’s hot( from Liz Carlyle). To not wait until inspiration hits you or else it will morph into procrastination.
by Evangeline April 25th, 2005 at 10:49 pmIt’s hard to say, but I think “You can’t edit a blank page” is one I think most often when I’m hitting a dry spell.
by Teresa April 26th, 2005 at 5:06 amKnow when to quit revising, or you’ll edit your voice right out of the manuscript.
by Larissa April 26th, 2005 at 7:05 amWrite. Write. Write. Write. All the time. Every day. Keep writing. It’s the only way to sharpen your voice and improve your craft. And as Teresa said, you can’t fix an emtpy page. You can, however, fix a filled one.
Off to write…

How about: don’t read reviews before you sit down to write. In other words, don’t let outsiders mess with your mind before work.
by kate April 27th, 2005 at 12:32 pmJust write the first draft. If it’s full of passive sentences, adverbs, and head-hopping, so be it. Worry about “The Rules” in editing.
