A Tale of Two Sayings (Or What Driving Taught Me About Writing)

by Lynn H Blackburn @LynnHBlackburn

Ever heard that one before? I can’t remember where I heard it first, but it’s so very true. You can be in the car, behind the wheel, motor running, ready to go. You may even have the brute strength to force the steering wheel to make the tires twist on the pavement.

But the car? It hasn’t moved, and it’s not going to until you put that baby in drive.
