#WritersCoffeeClub 12 Do you agree with Ray Bradbury: "Quantity produces quality. If you only write a few things you're doomed"?
There is a saying that is takes 10,000 hours of doing something to start mastering it. And another saying that you need to write a million bad words before you start reliably producing good ones.
I think all three are talking about building skills and consistency.
Those numbers sound huge but 10K hours is just 5 years of full-time work.
And the words add up...
