If you want to be a writer, I have two pieces of advice. One is to be a reader. I think that's one of the most important parts of learning to write. The other piece of advice is 'Just do it!' Don't think about it, don't agonize, sit down and write.

That's why people don't ever think to blame the Socs and are always ready to jump on us. We look hoody and they look decent.
