You learn how to write by writing

Not by thinking about writing.

Reading craft books? Great.

Studying great stories? Essential.

Nothing replaces the messy and magical work of scribbling words on the page.

You won’t figure out your voice by analyzing it.

You won’t master structure by outlining endlessly.

You won’t finish your story by waiting for the “perfect” idea. (It doesn’t exist.)

Writing is a skill and skills are built by doing.

Mistakes teach.

Rewrites sharpen.

Action builds confidence.
