You Are A Writer (So Start Acting Like One)

by Jeff Goins

Subtle but serious words that kill our passion before we can pursue it. Words like “aspiring” and “wannabe.” Words like “I wish” and “someday.” There is a solution to this. A simple way of facing your fears and living the dream: Become who you are.

Believe you already are what you want to be. And then start acting like it.

It didn’t happen by thinking about it or talking about it. Not through wasting time with meaningless goals or silly, fruitless plans. No, it happened from doing the work—creating habits and building momentum.

You just need to begin. You’ll figure out the rest as you go. Trust me.
