Motley... you should be getting a few books on writing to help get you into writing better stuff. The more you seek out the best writers and their advice, the better writer you will become.

Books, collaborations, seminars, courses, they are all useful. But most importantly, write, write, write.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
