As the Cat in the Hat once said, it’s fun to have fun but you have to know how. (Rule No. 1 for beginners: try to avoid quoting the Cat in the Hat.)
The hardest thing about writing is getting started, and the next hardest thing is to keep going. I think most writers would tell you so.
There’s quite a response to this post, ventured by Marlene and well worth reading. That’s another hard part: writing with strict honesty.
If you can start, keep going, and speak from the heart… well, you’re on your way there.
If you write what you are passionate about, you will probably finish. That works for me.
Well, why would you want to write about something that you don’t care about, one way or another? But passion is tricky. Misapplied, it might chase the reader away.
Good advice.
