The best training is to read and write, no matter what. Don’t live with a lover or roommate who doesn’t respect your work. Don’t lie, buy time, borrow to buy time. Write what will stop your breath if you don’t write.

Hi there. If you can get your hands on a copy of Art Objects by Jeanette Winterson i think you’ll enjoy it. Lots in there about Virginia Woolf who Winterson refers to as “Wine and waterfall.” It’s a fabulous book of art essays.
