writing is work

March 2023: Go!

The decision to write is both simple and complicated.

For every writer brave enough to attach their name to an idea, there a writer that needs a pen name.

For every writer that decides to put their own story on paper, there is writer commissioned to get a family story down.

Some writers need 20 years to get up enough nerve, some need 20 minutes.

Your GO may be different than mine, and that is needed an necessary!

It doesn’t matter how long it takes you to go, as long as you go.

There’s 3 things to remember, and they all involve focus:

1.) Preparing. The biggest question is, “What is it that I want to do? How will I do it?”

2.) Expecting. Be gentle with yourself. Set reasonable deadlines and keep them. Adjust them if necessary.

3.) Follow through. What you set out to do complete. It is now a priority.

March 2023: Go!

The hardest thing is to admit that you have a story in you that is ignored.

Not unwritten, but IGNORED.

For all that is inside you, with you being a storyteller, do you understand how essential it is to tell your story?

Do you realize what will happen if you IGNORE the story on the inside of you? It will become an infection. It will touch and corrupt anything and everything in your life you want to create with.

In the storm of uncertainity, you have to decide which is better (or worse): a story untold or a story ignored?

What I wrestle with the most is time. Honestly, I think a lot of writers do. Time to write, when to end, making more to write.

In being a good writer you have to be aware of time, but loosely bound by it.

When you say you will write, write.

Time is your start and end point.

Remember you can do what you determine to do–and if all else fails, try again.

Time is to yours.
