The time excuse is killing your writing
Many people want to see traction with their writing.
They want to live that dream of having a buzzing audience and making good money from this romantic craft.
But they say they struggle to find the time to write.
And to them, I say it isn’t time you need.
Instead, you need commitment.
When people say they wish they had more time to write, they aren’t honouring the act of writing as they could.
They do have time.
Every writer in the history of writing had time. And if they didn’t, they made time.
People don’t prioritise it because they view other things as more important than writing.
That’s the only reason you can’t find time.
They aren’t committed to making writing work. Or, they aren’t committed as they think they are.
Writing is a fourth-best at most.
That’s why you must rediscover your commitment, which is rooted in a genuine love and reverence for the craft of writing.
You need words, and words need time spent writing them.
But you have more time than you think.
