Don’t Quit Writing!
I’ve been having another attack of the ‘just quit writing’ bug.
At the moment I’m working my normal forty hour job plus I’ve added twenty hours of a graduate school internship. That means three days per week (Tues, Thurs, Fri) I’m totally fourteen hour days. Monday nights I have an hour and a half online class. Saturdays I have a six-hour shift for the internship.
I also have other interests and commitments…my marriage being one of the biggies!
So how do I keep up with the writing?
Well, I think the best thing about writing is that it can be done with an segment of time. Whether it’s fifteen minutes bits here and there or four hour lengths I can put something down on the page if I just keep that as a priority.
My main goal is to keep from getting discouraged.
Here is my three step action plan for the moment:
- Commit thirty minutes each morning to write.
- Post once a week here.
- Reread The War of Art

Hopefully that’ll keep me writing!
