Stirling Silliphant on Writing (and Writing)

"The secret to writing is to write, write, write and then write some more, and then write some more."

I heeded that advice very early: When I was around six years of age I wrote a story about Kaiser Wilhelm II piloting a Blériot aeroplane. It was a short piece; and funny, if my parents' reaction was any indicator. (It may have been due to my inspired "mashup".)
