To be a writer you put your butt in the chair and write, write, write. That's always been my motto and still is. (broken foot, children, and bears notwithstanding, LOL) There is no sweet way to say it. To be a writer you put your butt in the chair and write, write, write.

Someone should blog about that :roll: I do find it hard to help some people--you know the ones--with all the excuses why they can't, what they're stuck on, why they are so much busier, day job, kids, sports, hurt more, writing doesn't come easy for them...etc, etc. I do help new writers with questions though and point them in the right direction for answers. Unless it's questions that can be answered with...just do it :mrgreen: (thanks for mentioning my blog) Yep, treating writing as a career.

Emily, you started exactly one month after you. It's making it a priority. I know this opinion might not be a populat one, but tough, I guess. Here's what was going on when I started writing. I taught Spec. Ed. full time, had 12 piano students, attending master's classes and MY hubby was stationed away and I saw him 2 days a week sometimes and every nine days the other. I wrote two books. The end. Priorities. Well, I have to say I’ve always wanted to write. Emily, you started exactly one month after you. It’s making it a priority.

The only way to learn is by doing. The only way to become a better writer is to write. Everyone has to start somewhere. I try to remind myself of that when people ask those questions. :cool: So true.
