People often ask my advice about starting or writing a blog. A friend of mine asked me just today, in fact. So, I thought I'd share the advice I generally give.
These are the two best pieces of writing advice I have ever received -
1. Butt in chair.
2. Honesty. Always. Or don't bother.

always tells us that honest writing is the best writing. Forget what you

Check back for more tips. In the meantime - Butt in chair...
You are right.
