I just wanted to share two more things...
One: Leonard Cohen on writing from the movie I'm your man (Paraphrased horribly)
You don't have all the time in the world. You know how long it takes you to do anything, so you have to start now. You have to write what you're going to abandon, put it down so you can see how it all fits together. Then you can throw it away.
Two: One of my motivational songs for making myself write , for much the same reasons as the quote above is Gwen Stefani's What you waiting for?
Because seriously, what are you waiting for? I said to Seraph this afternoon, there will *always* be other stuff you could be doing. I have found success in just forcing myself to be doing writing instead of all that other stuff.
It seems so obvious somehow, but it also feels like a revelation.
