Write.
Write anything.
Every day.
Cultivate the habit.
Most of what you write will be dross, but you can sort it out later.
Even the best writers produce crap sometimes.
Great writers are the ones who come back to what they wrote, again and again, to agonise over tiny details – but first, they had to write.
Choosing what to throw out and what to hone, line by line, is the real skill – but first you have to have a draft. Perfection can wait.
