Dear writer,
I’m going to level with you.
Writing is a solitary endeavor. You’re going to get lonely. You’ll probably get jealous. You will have highs and lows that will shock you. You’ll have back pain and you’ll need to exercise a lot to make up for all the sitting you do. You’ll be tempted to chat with other writers to make up for the fact that writers don’t work in an office with other writers. You’ll be tempted to waste time on social media and do whatever everyone else is doing.
But at the end of the day, you must sit down, shut up and write.
Stop talking about what you’re going to write. Write.
Stop talking about what you need to be doing. Write.
Stop talking about your grand plans. Write.
Stop talking about your marketing plan. Write.
Stop talking about your career goals, business plan and process. Write.
Just shut up and write.
