About This Quote
Sometimes it’s easier to talk about writing than to actually do it. This is especially true for writers who are not used to writing. It’s hard to think of something when the only space in the brain is already filled with words. There really is no substitute for practice, however, and writers who practice every day eventually get their thoughts down on paper (or e-mail or computer screen).
