"We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down." -Kurt Vonnegut
In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, flying is described as throwing yourself at the ground and missing. Isn't that what writing basically is? Making a ridiculous leap, which is, essentially, something very stupid to do, and, by some miracle, making something other people might want to read?
We don't know how to fly, any of us, before we start. The only way to learn is to just make that jump
