Quote

I write in a journal occasionally. But it is not a daily discipline for me.

Writing in a journal reminds you of your goals and of your learning in life. It offers a place where you can hold a deliberate, thoughtful conversation with yourself.

If I had been asked to write 1,200 words for a newspaper tomorrow, on any subject, I would just do it rather than leave a white hole in the page. And I think it's a very healthy attitude to take to writing anything.

Someone who wants to write should make an effort to write a little something every day. Writing in this sense is the same as athletes who practice a sport every day to keep their skills honed.

As a writer, putting words on the page is how I pay attention.

It's the hardest thing in the world to dedicate to writing, but if you do that even once a week, after six months or a year you'll have something substantial.

Writing is a muscle that needs to be exercised every day: The more you write, the easier it becomes.

Write every day even if it is just a paragraph.

Write every day. You don't have to write about anything specific, but you should exercise your writing muscle constantly.

Writing is sometimes a balancing act between keeping things easily readable and being accurate.
