Add me to the ping list, please and thank you!

Oh yeah: and do not drink before and during writing. If you do, your stuff will almost always be crap when you sober up.

I don't care how F. Scott Fitzgerald and Hemingway did it.

I just write something. Even if it’s crap, you’re now into editing, even if it ends up being a full rewrite, but the pressure to write is gone.

YMMV, of course.

Thanks for adding me to the list, although I doubt that I bring much to the table now that I’ve retired from writing. The only advice that I could give others that aspire to put pen to paper is to remember that being a successful writer is akin to being a well-behaved dog. Both will pay heed to two commands, “SIT” and “STAY”!
