Jan Van der Cruysse
Stop aspiring. Sit down at your desk and just start doing it.
You don't start being a book writer: you start by being a page writer. Then you become a chapter writer. It builds, step by step. You learn as the story comes together. You change things, improve them. And then at the end, months later, before you even realise, you have become a book writer.
Or you don't. Maybe you start writing and you mess up big time and you hate every moment of it and finally you decide that soccer or flowers are more interesting. But then at least, you'll know.
So shut down this computer and get to it. Don't check your watch. You'll be late for bed anyhow. Enjoy!!
