Regular readers of this blog know that I frequently tell writers that it is up to them to make the decisions and choices in their writing world. I can't do it for you. Your spouse cannot do it for you. Your kids can't do it. Your hairdresser cannot do it either.
You are the one who must allot the time devoted to writing in your day.
You are the one who must find story ideas.
You are the one who must find a grand opening for each writing project.
You are the one who must write the first draft.
You are the one who needs to edit and revise that first draft.
You are the one who needs to find a place to submit the finished product.
You are the one who needs to market self-published books.
You are the one who should continue learning about the craft of writing.
You are the one who must go to writing conferences to learn and mingle with other writers.
You are the one to decide if you should join a writing critique group.
You are the one must enter writing contests.
You are the one responsible to keep the passion for writing alive.
Oh Wow! That's a lot to put on any one of you, or me. However, it's what our writing world is all about. It's whole basis is you and the decisions and choices you make. You're a team of one!
