There is a new sign above my desk, courtesy of someone I follow on Twitter, who in turn attributed it to someone else.  This is what it says:

How To Write a Novel

1. Think up a story
2. Using about 80,000 words, write the story down.

Pitfalls That Get In The Way Of Writing A Novel

1. Not thinking up a story
2. Not writing down the story
3. Writing down most, but not all, of the story
4. Pissing about on the internet.

It has been making me smile all morning.
