Writing Words - writing it is the only way of getting it written

The problem with the internet today is that writing advice is endless. You can read and read and read until the end of days, I suppose. True, some background knowledge on how novels work and how other people go about writing them is helpful, but no amount of theory can ever replace writing practice. If you want to write a publishable piece of fiction, you need to write lots of unpublishable rubbish first. Things you would never admit you wrote. Because knowing what works in theory doesn't mean you sit down and write a publishable text. You make mistakes, and you learn because of them.
