BEST WRITING ADVICE IN 10 WORDS OR FEWER

I found the following at my favorite Writers Digest site, and had to share it with you.  My favorite ‘piece of advice’ below is high-lighted in ‘red’  . . . because that’s exactly what I’ve done with my writing.  Oh, I’ve tried quitting once – but as my husband puts it, “You are happier when you’re writing.”  He’s right.  The one thing I do for me - is I write.  What is your favorite piece of writing advice or what keeps you writing?  What keeps me writing are the stories inside my head struggling to be written!  Rita
