§20. Write First

So you want to become a writer.  Why don't you start by writing, then?  If you love to write, write and find the joy in writing.  Never mind about what one must write.  Consider this as an abstract task: just start to write.  When the head empties itself, when preoccupations kick it, then get up and celebrate your freedom to rejoice over your life, by walking, singing, cooking, meditating.  Or just go read something.   And when on an idle, do the opposite: start by reading something.  Sit back and let yourself spectate the world of works.  You'll soon realize that when you start your day by reading, you're not really working.
