The more you write, the more you'll want to write

And I'm guilty for not writing much in the last couple of months. One of the books I'm reading about writing a dissertation gives the advice that if you feel stuck, write something. And not necessarily on the dissertation. It can be brainstorming, journaling, even fiction. The point is to keep writing so it becomes a habit.

I find this a very good piece of advice. When I don't write, I don't feel like writing. When getting back into it, it can be hard to compose complete sentences or even just ideas. But getting going is the hardest part. And even writing a piece of fiction or ranting about my day can improve my writing skills.

So that is the goal. Write something every day.
