A Great Piece of Writing Advice from Brian K. Vaughn

wilwheaton:

WRITE MORE, DO OTHER STUFF LESS.

That’s it. Everything else is meaningless. You can take all the classes in the world and read every book on the craft out there, but at the end of the day, writing is sorta like dieting. There are plenty of stupid fads out there and charlatans promising quick fixes, but if you want to lose weight, you have to exercise more and eat less. Period. Every writer has 10,000 pages of shit in them, and the only way your writing is going to be any good at all is to work hard and hit 10,001.

Wonderful advice, isn’t it? If you’re a Redditor, go give the OP some karma love, won’t you?

    Absolutely true. I mean, I’m not a famous writer and I haven’t done this. Sounds legit.
