Writing
Writing is not about getting letters on a page. It’s not about getting done with text. It’s finding a clear and simple expression for what we feel, mean, and want to express
Finishing means failing. If you always stay in the drafting stage, success—however you define it—is always on the horizon. But failing is how we teach ourselves to write.
Lincoln Michel • The First and Best Writing Advice I Ever Received
There are times I sit down to write this thing and all I’ve got is a spark of an idea. There’s nothing fiery in my belly waiting to get out. This is one such time. I was whining about it to my husband and he wisely said, “just write about all your half ideas.”

Research is formalised curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. Zora Neale Hurston
Russell Davies • Do Interesting: Notice. Collect. Share. (Do Books Book 36)
In fact, the best things in life grow slowly: relationships, children, careers, the oak tree in your backyard, and your writing practice. Think of it like a garden.
