Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of taking action and starting, regardless of the circumstances or obstacles one may face. It compares the act of writing to turning on a faucet, symbolizing the flow of creativity and productivity that begins once one begins a task. Just as water can only flow when the faucet is turned on, ideas and progress can only come about when one initiates their work. It encourages individuals to overcome procrastination or self-doubt and simply begin, recognizing that the act of starting is often the first step towards accomplishment.
