I’m a professional writer and this is the way. You’ve just got to force yourself to write. Even if it’s nonsense. Even if you don’t want to. Especially if you don’t want to.

People ask what the difference is between a professional writer and an amateur. Some might say it’s getting paid, but that’s not true - plenty of professional writers don’t get paid. The difference is discipline. When you’re a professional writer you need to be able to turn it on every single day, even when there’s not an ounce of inspiration in your body.
