Do you dream
of being a writer?
If you want to
be a writer, the only thing required is to put your butt in a chair, place your
hands on a keyboard, pen, pencil or whatever you use to write, and write,
write, write.
Consider
writing as your job. If your dream is to publish, remember writing is a business, and treat it as if you’re an entrepreneur,
because you are.
It doesn’t
make any difference if you are young, old, or in between.
Don’t let
anyone; including yourself talk you out of your dream of writing. Just write
what subject you want to write about.
It doesn’t make
any difference who you are, what sex you are, or anything else. Determination
and persistence is will make you a writer.
Every writer
can come up with myriad excuses not to write. The writer doesn’t use them, but
writes in spite of them.
One major
excuse is not having the time. This is a cop-out If you want to be a writer,
you’ll make time by going to bed later, get up earlier, or turn the Television
off instead of watching some inane program. If a movie or some show is important
to you, record it for a later time.
For the
novice writer, the internal editor is a major problem. Overcome this by just
writing, and then edit it.
It’s simple,
writers write and that’s it, period.
If you want
to be a writer, sit down and write the darn book; it won’t write itself.
Now is the time
to organize your thoughts, notes, research, or outline and begin telling your
story as only you can.
Today is the
day you become a writer.
