I’ve been horrible about writing this year. I really have. In total I think I have maybe 4 sessions of an hour apiece for the last 5 months. Besides writing this blog I haven’t really done anything on my writing.
I was at a writing panel the other week and they pointed out that the most important thing to do as a writer was to actually sit down and write. I felt as if that were aimed right at me.
I could make all the excuses in the world but the fact remains that I need to put more time and effort into writing. Not just into writing but into editing. I have a couple of pieces that I think have some potential but I need to get them moving and that’s another thing that I need to do.
But how to go about doing that? The quick and easy answer is that you just do. I could make excuses all year-long and never get anything down or I could try to at the very least I would be making the effort.
That’s really at the core of whatever you want to do in life whether it’s your work or it’s a hobby or something else you have to be willing to actually do whatever it is you do.
It doesn’t matter if it turns out terrible. At least you’re trying and that’s more than most people do. And even if you do fail at least you can say that you gave it your best effort.
