f writing. So many say “get in the habit of writing” like it's the holy grail of success. Well, my habit is to be quite frank, no habit at all. And then by having no habit at all, you might be encouraged to write more. And then more.And probably the final thing is. Write because you enjoy it, write because it lifts your soul. And write your words carefully because the window you allow into your life may act as a balm to someone reading who needs help. This really is the power of a writer. The words they can put on the screen may well be the words that someone needs to read at either a sad or crisis point in their life.

But I’m Probably Wrong

I read all these articles about writing, how to get five trillion followers, you’ll earn enough to buy a huge London Townhouse and do your weekly grocery shop at Fortnum and Mason.

Well, it's not really like that is it. It's usually sitting huddled over the laptop, system crashes, constant interruptions, the cat walks over the keyboard, knocking over coffees, thereby soaking the keyboard and nothing works even after drying out. An interesting fact I read was that spilled tea does less damage to a keyboard as it is less sticky than coffee. Google away, dear readers.
