Discipline > Inspiration

I meet writers who only write when they feel inspired. And when that inspiration hits, the words flow like a river.

When inspiration strikes, take full advantage of it.

But I don’t rely on inspiration. I write everyday. I literally can’t rely on it. Most days, I don’t feel inspired at all. But I still sit down and write something anyway.

What I’ve learned is that discipline leads to inspiration. The hardest part is just sitting down to write. But once I do, I can summon the inspiration at will.
