1. Write something. Write everyday.
2. FINISH it.
3. Send it out to someone who will pay you money for it.
4. When it comes back, send it out again.
5. Meanwhile, write something else. Lather, rinse, and repeat.
Corollary: Recognize that you are always learning. You're never as good as you think you are. You're always better than you're afraid you are. Read a LOT. Study the masters. Look at how they did what they did. There are powerful reasons we're still reading Shakespeare.
