The
Difference
Between a good writer
And a great one
Is:
The beginner
Will often lay down his pen
Or move from his paper
Then pick up an invisible weapon
On the mind’s table
And helplessly smash the
Words
Whereas the veteran
No longer hurts himself or anyone
And keeps on
Writing
Light.

This is just such good writing advice! Keep on writing - and write light. I'm printing this one out & keeping it near my computer.
