I have to pick this one up!<br />And you are absolutely right about "keep writing." Sometimes, I have to wake up a few hours earlier, even on the weekends, to breath life into the words on my pages. If I didn't, the pages would be blank and the cursor would be blinking endlessly while waiting for me to write SOMETHING, ANYTHING! So yes, keep writing!
