...which means I need to get serious.
Yesterday at Tribe, we were discussing what's going on in our lives. Without really thinking, I said that I am writing a novel. I think that's the first time I actually said it out loud. And it sort of motivated me to get my act together and really commit to doing it, because if I'm going to say I'm doing it, I'd better be making some progress on it.
I've heard (more times than I can count) that to be a really good writer, you have to write every day. You have to make it a priority. So that's what I need to do.
I'm going to start small, maybe 30 minutes a day. Obviously, I can do more than that, and probably will on the days that I get into a good groove with it. But I'm also not going to beat myself up over days that it doesn't happen (as long as that's the exception and not the rule). I'm also not going to limit myself to writing my novel. Some days, for whatever reason, I may just need to write in my journal and that's all I'll have time for. But it's something, and it's something I need.
