Start somewhere, anywhere and don't stop. You can always go back and edit whet you've written, but it's not easy to remember inspiration later. So figure out how you write best (more than one method is the best) and then make sure you have that available to you. I write my best poetry using the notebook app on my phone. Sometimes I type with it, and sometimes no I use speech to text to get my thoughts down. I also love pen and paper, so I make sure I have a notebook wherever I go. (less)

George Eliot
“I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.”

George Eliot
“What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life--to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?”
