I tell people all the time — students in my writing classes or friends asking for writing advice — write it. Go ahead. Who cares what it is, where it comes from, and even what it might be. It’s my matter-of-fact response to that, “Hey Ralph, how does one start writing?” question to which I always reply: “Um, one just starts writing.”

When Forrest Gump is asked why he started running, he says, “I just felt like runnin’.” Well, most people I know who wanted to write began to do so because they just felt like….writing. My buddy Bob is fond of saying, “Writers write,” and that’s all there is to it. And as with all things, in order to do something, you have to take the first step and start doing it.
