Find the Write Mind

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:

1. Commit thirty minutes each morning to write.
2. Post once a week here.
3. Reread The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield

Hopefully that’ll keep me writing!
