I came across this phrase

¡Tírate a escribir!

My best guess: Throw yourself into writing!

It is a colloquial use of the verb "tirar," and it means something more like "dive into" or "jump on in" (but not in the literal sense).

Therefore, the sentence you provide would most likely be translated as "Dive into writing!"

Kind of reminds me of reading rainbow or those posters you see at the public library. "Jump on into a good book!" smile
