Stop trying to be a genius and start being a writer.

A writer writes, just as a runner runs.

Just as a child builds sandcastles and Lego structures in ignorance of Gaudí.

Create without pretence. Without expectation. Without lofty desires. With an indifference to results.

And if you’re lucky, some genius may emerge.
