We all have plans to do certain things, but life gets in our way. Whatever we were hoping to do gets delayed for longer than we'd like. Other needs in our writing world pop up and that great thought about this or that sits for a while longer.
Then, there's another situation. We want to start a new writing project or something else writing-related but that old Fear and Doubt hold us back. Are you going to let those two monsters keep you from growing as a writer? None of us does it willingly, but it can happen.
So today, ask yourself the question above as you examine your writing life.
If not now, when...
- will you finish your novel?
- will you start the project that has been on your mind for months?
- will you start submitting your work for publication?
- will you read a book about writing?
- will you sign up for a writing conference?
- will you start writing for a part of every day?
- will you do an edit and revision on all those first drafts you started and filed away?
- will you join a critique group?
- will you look in the mirror and say I am a writer?
I could add more, but you get the drift, I'm sure. The longer we put something off, the more difficult it is to step up and get it done. So, if not now, when? Once again, it's up to you.
