Some Profound Writing Advice...

"There's nothing hard about writing. All you have to do is sit down and open up a vein."

Walter "Red" Smith gives this advice to struggling writers who don't know how to get started. He encourages these people to simply write their emotions; anything that comes to them. Emotions are the basis for quality, passionate writing. I, however, disagree with this man's belief. Some people are not born with creativity instilled in their intellects. There is no way (not yet, at least) to make someone creative. Thus, emotions are not necessary to the writing process, even though they very well may make the writing much better.
