Just read an interesting "tweet" on twitter that I thought was worth posting:
Quantity produces quality. If you only write a few things, you’re doomed.
RAY BRADBURY@advicetowriters
Good advice! I think there should always be more of a focus on quality than on quantity, but I think that it is very true that the more you write, the better you will write.
For this reason, I recently decided that, no matter what happened in my day (pending a real life or death emergency), I will always write at least 500 words each day. (I realize that 500 words is pitiful, but I figured that if I set a small goal, I might actually stick with it.) Since deciding this, I have seen some real benefits, especially because once I get started, it's pretty easy to keep going.
I must now get back to work, but will you leave you with a final thought.
If you want to be a good writer, you have to write. A lot. And often. Have a good weekend!

Good for you! Instead of words, I make myself write for half an hour each day. Which...uh, is what I'm supposed to be doing now instead of stalling and checking out your fun blog. Guess I'll be going now. Happy writing!
That is a good idea to stick to a certain amount of time...I might try that if this does'nt work out. Glad you checked out my blog. It is nice to know that someone besides myself is looking at it. :)
Nice to "meet" you Sarah! I found you from Twitter. I've signed up to follow you both on Twitter and here. Good luck to you and your family! Keep writing:)
