I don't understand this.

What?

What's reading got to do with writing?

What do you mean man?

I mean, you write. You write, others read. That's the difference between you and them.

Do you ever read what you write?

Certainly not in public. Barely read it in private. You know, all those you see reading in coffee shops...

Yeah. What about them?

They're not reading. They just wanna get laid.

You get laid, if you're seen reading?

The chances go up. You look a tad bit more attractive than you actually are with a book in your hand. And if you write a book, the chances double up!

Women will sleep with you if you write a book?

Women will sleep with you if you write a bad book.

Here's the typewriter. Sit down, and write.

What?

What do you mean what? Just write. Punch the God damn keys for Christ's sake!

Wait man! I'm thinking.

No - No thinking. Thinking comes later. You write your first draft with your heart. You re-write it with your head. The first key to writing is... to write, not to think!
