What babble?

Just write.  Write.  Do it every day.  It's all you can do, and if you have
the force of will and the talent, we may all benefit, including you.

This is no romanticizing the act of writing.  It's work, just like chopping
wood or digging ditches.  And work is both honorable and, often, rewarding.

And if it doesn't work out, there is nothing dishonorable in having tried
your best.  Trying and failing beats just talking about "writing" any day.
