In an effort to make myself write more I listed my writing excuses and then tried to debunk them. I have this list posted everywhere and I think it has helped. If you are having trouble being consistent with your writing maybe you should make your own list. _________________________________ Why don’t I write every day, what is holding me back from this dream that I have and that I think about everyday but I don’t actually commit myself to doing? Fear of doing it wrong So what if I do it wrong, I need to do it in order to learn how to do it right. Fear of doing it and having to redo it If I do it that’s something to be proud of because, even if it is wrong, I still have accomplished writing a novel. And if it’s wrong I will want to redo it and make it right and publish something good and then be proud of that.
