Just do it.

So, they say that the best way to become a writer is to, well, write. And that seems so simple. I mean, writers write, right? 

But that's where I get sidetracked. I start thinking too hard about it. What am I going to write about? How long is the thing I want to write going to be? Will anyone actually want to read what I have written? I think I'm hilarious, and insightful, and analytical, and a bit of a pot-stirrer (sorry husband). But what about my fictional readers?? Will they like it? Will I inspire thought-provoking conversations or change?

I guess the only way to know is to throw something out into the universe and see what happens.
