Write. Even When it's Hard.

For authors, writing typically isn't a chore. It's something that flows naturally from our head to our hands. It often comes easy. That's why it can be difficult for us to plow ahead and write when we run into those inevitable swamplands in our work in progress. You know what I'm talking about– those places where writing gets so tough you feel as if you're trudging through knee-deep mud with every paragraph, every sentence, every word. We stop making good progress and have a tendency to think we should stop writing and wait for inspiration to return.

The truth is, those muddy trenches aren't going away on their own. We have to trudge through them. We have to keep writing even when it's slow and awful. It's those miry pits in our story that keep us from being productive writers. But if we don't write when it's hard, our muse may go into hiding while that mud pit remains, waiting for us to step in and get to the other side.
Do you want to make progress as an author? Do you want to be a productive writer? Do you want to finish the book?

Write. Even when it's hard.
