you're either writing or you're not

"The writer writes. The writer writes! THE WRITER WRITES.
Hell with aspiring.
To aspire is to expire."

"... rejection is how you know you're doing the work. Rejection means you're putting words to paper and you're throwing them out there for all the world to see. Rejection is your battle scars: proof of your fight in the arena. Nobody wants to fall down and go boom but falling down and going boom is how you learn not to fall next time. Or at least fall differently."

"I want to be a writer, but.
Stop.
Stop there.
And start writing.
You're either writing, or you're not."

This is just the right kick in the butt I need for today.
