Don't wait.
Writers are the only artists I know of who expect to get somewhere by waiting.
Everyone knows you have to dance to be a dancer, you have to sing to be a singer, you have
to act to be an actor, but far too many people seem to believe that you don't have to
write to be a writer ... Writing is what teaches you. Writing is what leads to
"inspiration." Writing is what generates ideas. Nothing else - and
nothing less. Don't meditate, don't do yoga, don't do drugs. Just write.
