Top 10 Bits of Writing Advice
1. Be disciplined. Force yourself to sit down and work. Even when you’d rather do anything else, put something on the page. Sometimes your worst days turn into your best. If they don’t, at least you flexed your discipline muscle.

added a status update: There’s a fella named Scott Bielinski on Goodreads. Y’all ought to be following his reviews.

Need more folks like Scott.
