"Don’t give up. Just get in there and write." – Teresa
"Create a routine to write consistently. Tie it to an existing habit, like coffee with a fellow writer." – Brad
"Finish writing, then read it out loud. Print a proof, check it, then publish. In that order—unless you enjoy fixing regrets in print." – Ray
"Get together with other writers. Embrace your inner Inkling." – Donovan
"Go play! Stay inspired." – Dixie
"Pray before writing." – Jeannee
