and you want to have any degree of control over your career, you can't

wait around for someone to hand you a writing assignment. You can't

wait around to get a studio deal. You're a writer: write yourself into

the business. Write yourself into a new genre, a new form, a new

career. Sit down at the computer and write. No excuses. No dithering.

Just sit down, focus, and do it. That's really the only way to succeed...
