The writing life isn’t an easy one. It’s one filled with
joy, but also has its painful side. With any lifestyle that requires the
courage to follow a dream, there are frequent roadblocks and obstacles.
Don't be your own worst enemy when it comes to writing! |
Many of
these are imposed from others. Just announce that you’re following your heart
and people seem to come out of the woodwork to tell you why it can’t—and/or
shouldn’t—be done. In addition to the naysayers, we can also be responsible for
causing our own stumbling blocks.
Today I want to focus on the things we can do—promises we
can make to ourselves—that will make things easier.
