So why not just write?

As a new writer I have been keen to learn the ins and outs of writing. How should I format my writing? When do I redraft?  How many chapters should I have? The list goes on. Most new writers will have been here.
I joined writer's circles and I trawled the internet looking for comment on what I should be doing and how I should be doing it.
Inbetween all this I was looking at ways of promoting myself and the book, the pitfalls and benefits of self publishing, and anything concerned with the book and ebook trade.
The one thing I wasn't doing was writing. There is no point in doing all of this research if I am not actually writing anything to get out there to the public.
We all have to remember the purpose of a writer is to write. Anything else has to be secondary to this. Our task is to get those thoughts, ideas and fantasies onto the page for others to see.
