Time spent writing is a productive time

All too often novice writers tell themselves, “I should be doing something else other than writing.” Maybe it’s folding laundry, maybe it’s working on the project for your employers, maybe it’s just relaxing.

Such thinking isn’t very helpful to your writing. You either go do that other task (and there always are a thousand other tasks one could do) or you spend your writing time not thinking about your book but that other thing you instead might be doing.

You never can be a successful writer, though, if you don’t write. And why would you want to defer your dream?

A satisfying life demands that you possess purpose and passion. To be an author is your purpose. Writing is your passion.

Pursuing any passion and achieving any goal requires effort. If your passion is running and your purpose is to complete a marathon, and must practice and work your way up in handling the miles you traverse each day. You don’t just run a marathon the first time out.

So it is with writing. You don’t write the Great American Novel or the next bestselling self-help book with a single draft. Instead, you must learn the craft of writing and revise your works. Each time you write, you incrementally become better and get closer to the finish line.

Folding the laundry, completing another project at work, or watching television for the next hour doesn’t build your writing muscles. It only leaves them flabby.

Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. Whether you come from a big city like Miami, Florida, or a small town like Normal, Illinois, I can provide that second eye.
