After reading the first several chapters of Writing down the bones and discussing it in class I've thought more about the advice in the book. Most of the advice is really good especially for a beginning writer, lots of good habits and techniques to help you practice and get discipline.

"When you write ,don't say 'I'm going to write a poem.' That attitude will freeze you right away.Sit down with the least expectation of yourself; say, 'I am free to write the worst junk in the world.'"

This kind of attitude is good to get you into the habit of writing, just taking time to practice writing with out a end result other than spend time writing. This will stop your mind from not wanting to write, just like learning to discipline your body through exercise we must build discipline for writing as well.
