Getting to fully engage the imagination. When you're grown and working and paying bills, imagination takes a back seat to the real world. But if you write, you have the perfect excuse to let your imagination wander and draw inspiration from it. (Just don't forget to go to work and pay the bills, alright?)

Stop telling yourself that no one will read your stuff. Self-doubt will beat you up and kill your inspiration. I went through so many years not doing a darn thing about my writing because I was afraid people would hate it. You just have to tell that nasty voice to hush.
