on writing - EVERY DAY

I'd say this is one piece of writing advice that is forever true: WRITE EVERY DAY.

You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries
and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear
books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for
the next 20,000 days.  And out of that love, remake a world.  - Ray Bradbury

Write every day, line by line, page by page, hour by hour. Do this despite
fear. For above all else, beyond imagination and skill, what the world asks
of you is courage, courage to risk rejection, ridicule and failure. As you
follow the quest for stories told with meaning and beauty, study thoughtfully
but write boldly. Then, like the hero of the fable, your dance will dazzle the
world.  - Robert McKee
