"You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." — Jack London

If you want to write for a living, you have to treat it like a job. Even if all you write is "Mary had a little lamb" over and over, get something on the page. Every day. #WriterTip #author #DayByDay

That's baseball, and it's my game. Y' know, you take your worries to the game, and you leave 'em there. You yell like crazy for your guys. It's good for your lungs, gives you a lift, and nobody calls the cops. Pretty girls, lots of 'em. ~Humphrey Bogart.
