Writers' Digest, October 2004, pages 26 to 33, has a collection of short "nuggets of wisdom" related to getting published. Maria Schneider is the author of the compilation. Take a deep breath, and here we go:
"If you want to be a writer, find a couple of hours in the morning or evening and do nothing but write. That's plenty of time to be a productive writer. The biggest impediment for almost everybody is the fact that it's harder than you think to just sit there and stare at the computer and pound something out. But finding the time isn't the issue as much as finding the will to do it." Dave Barry, author
Decide to do it. Write. Five minutes, 10 minutes, an hour here or there, maybe Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon. Whenever. But do it.

Write.
