Get your fingers in gear, Private

It's May Day.  And if you're here then you're calling out "MAYDAY, mayday" in your writing career.  You need to get your fingers in gear.

Close down the internet as soon as you read this. Pull up your word processor and face that blank page. I said, FACE IT.

And when your fingers' start scratching that keyboard, revel in every word. You don't need someone to give you a writing prompt. You don't need me to hold your prissy hand.  Just plant your ass at the keys and stay there until something meaningful comes out.

Yeah, it could take a while.  

Here's an early  BEASTIE BOYS clip to remind you that you don't really have to say anything meaningful to start.  You don't need English degrees, state of the art equipment or excuses.

JUST WRITE, dammit.  

I'll assign latrine duty for anyone who doesn't write some crap today--so WRITE WORDS or clean up someone else's shit.  Your choice.
