Stop Procrastinating and Write Something Today!

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson
As writers, it's easy to find reasons not to write. So today I wanted to remind all of us—me included—that there are also a lot of reasons to sit down and put those words on a screen (or paper), offering some encouragement to writers. After all it's really just a matter of perspective!
And truthfully, some of those reasons we come up with not to write are the best reasons to write.
15 Reasons to Write Today
1. Because you’re in the middle of a crisis2. Because you’re not in the middle of a crisis3. Because you need to stay in your best writing shape 4. Because If you don’t you’ll feel worse5. Because you have a contract6. Because you don’t have a contract7. Because you’ve been told you’re a good writer8. Because you’ve been told you’re not a good writer9. Because you have a gift...and it’s rude not to put it to use10. Because you have an idea11. Because you don’t have an idea12. Because you’re young13. Because you’re old14. Because God called you to write 15. Because writers write, and you’re a writer, right?
So who's with me? Will you turn those reasons upside down and agree to begin looking at them as motivation to write? Share your thoughts—and your commitment—in the comments section below!
