“You have to surrender to your mediocrity, and just write. Because it's hard, really hard, to write even a crappy book. But it's better to write a book that kind of sucks rather than no book at all, as you wait around to magically become Faulkner. No one is going to write your book for you and you can't write anybody's book but your own.” Cheryl Strayed

“If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.” Stephen King

Stephen, I gave up Netflix, Vudu, Hulu, Showtime, Disney, and HBO...and I go to bed early every night so I can read. I hope you're proud of me.🥺

"Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand." George Orwell

Your mileage may vary on Orwell's sentiment. For me, mostly true.
