How to Write

"How to write: want to. Stop not writing. Sit down and think of one story you MIGHT be able to tell badly.

 Take a stab at it. Blurt it out on paper. Go back and take out the boring or showoffy parts. 

 Don't give up on it! Listen for what it is trying to tell you. (It knows things.)"

— Anne Lamott
