Once you’ve entered the world of writing you have two annoying choices. Either you write and have the fear of failure dog you, or you don’t work on your opus and are doomed to regret what might have been. The good thing about getting started with writing–instead of carrying around a bag of stinking regret–is the fear melts away with each word.
I can putter with so many distractions, or I can dive into the inevitable and write immediately. Rip off that Band-Aid and get to work. Don’t have rituals (well…okay maybe coffee is necessary.) Otherwise pre-writing rituals slow you down. Just go.
How many books have been written and published since you vowed to get something on a bookstore shelf?
