David Lucero Absolutely write! I mean, Right!

Writing is an obsession, a passion. It's not a hobby. I've seen people write with pen and paper because they didn't have a laptop available, or were waiting for it to be repaired. Come up with a plot, then start writing it. Try and set a goal to finish in a year or less. Then read a book on a different subject. When done, go back and read your manuscript and start editing it. This way it'll be a fresh look after having read something else. You need distance to see your mistakes.

I believe James Cameron or Stephen King coined the phrase, "If you want to be a writer you have to read a lot, and write a lot."

Keep on writing!
