Persuasions

• You are a writer if you write. So write.

•  Loose tongues cost lives. You'll kill your character and plot if you yap about them too much, too early. So don't.

• You have every right to write. It doesn't matter if it's good, bad or really bloody awful. So write.

• Mood is not required to write, your presence is. So write. (Nicked from Emma Newman, Bristol writer)

•  Inspiration is not required to write, just turn up and start.

• All you need is a fast writing pen. 

•  Rubbish writing is still writing.  Not writing - well it just isn't.
