I like Jim Lehrer's advice on how to write a book. He gave this to a Wichita State kid on a visit to his Kansas hometown.
"Write a page a day. At the end of the year, what do you have?"
I only write articles for promised money, and darn little of that these days. I'm so out of practice I resented having to write up some scripts recently and went through more trouble to try to cut and paste than it was to just re-type it.
