Due to one thing or another this wasn't quite the prolific blog I was expecting, but I'm sure business will pick up soon enough. Which leads me to today's subject.
Getting started.
How hard is it to start something? It shouldn't be. If you know what you're going to do then there's not any reason why you can't just do it. If you're going on a diet then what sense does it make to wait until Monday to begin? If you're that serious then do it right now! Throw out that Pizza and grill up a chicken breast. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a motivational speech. It's just that when it comes down to it we're inherently lazy creatures. Few are lazier than you common writer, like oh I dunno, me.
I know I'm not alone in this but it's little consolidation to think that there are thousands of others just like me. If there's anything worse than leaving a page blank it's leaving a page blank because more than anything, you just couldn't be bothered. Or, even worse, you decided to leave it to a more suitable time.
"Oh yeah that novel I'm going to write? Well I might as well start it Monday now seeing as it's Wednesday today"
Great reasoning there friend!
Though I am actually writing a book (2 to be exact) I have decided to put it off, and this is a genuine excuse, to hone my craft. I have a dozen half finished short stories saved on here so (While also working on my business) I'm going to get those finished first. At the end of the day if I can't finish a short story then I might as well banish those Novels to the trash bin as they're never going to get done.
And I need to update my blog.
I'll get right on that tomorrow, it's no good starting on a Wednesday.
