"Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up."

I was driving in the car with a friend the other day and he asked me why I hadn't started the "Creative-Thing-A-Week" that I spoke about in the follow up to my new years post. I didn't have a answer beyond telling him that I had written that as an idea and hadn't meant that is was starting right away.

He called my bullshit and went home that night and started his own. Looks like I need to start now.
