Party Like a Copywriter fact: Writers always love to talk about writing. Or write about writing.

The great Lee Clow’s Beard Twitter stream aside, Advice to Writers on Twitter has been a great source of writing advice. Some of the bits I’ve enjoyed:

Always carry around a notebook. If you don’t write it down, it’s gone. STEWART O’NAN #amwriting #writing #writetip

The first 8 drafts are terrible. MALCOLM GLADWELL #amwriting #writing #writetip

Sometimes a flat-footed sentence is what serves, so you don’t get all writerly: “He opened the door.” There, it’s open. AMY HEMPEL

Birds will fly. Fish will swim. Writers will write. That’s how it goes.

There are lots of different kinds of writing. This includes copywriting. Copywriters craft and draft content for websites, products, billboards. Copywriters should like writing. So they write.

You should write, too.

Any form. Any medium. It doesn’t matter what. It doesn’t matter where. Writing something gives you a moment to yourself and saves your thoughts for later.

Here are three ways to get started:

• Post on Twitter. Make your words short and sweet. Bonus points if they’re interesting and funny.
• Put pen on paper. Paper is still a happening thing. Get a notebook. Grab your favorite writing implement. Go for it.
• Try a prompt. Plinky has a few. Or, try The Daily Post for blog post topics.

Do you write every day? Tell us in the comments! (Also, that counts as writing if you’re looking for somewhere to start.)
