Keep your momentum

(posted on 08/05/2011)

Once you begin writ­ing, try to con­tinue to write. Avoid any delays in your writ­ing sched­ule. That doesn’t mean you must write con­tin­u­ously, but you should strive to write consistently. Putting off the writ­ing of your book for too long a period can destroy your enthu­si­asm. It’s like when you vow to call a friend. You put it off for a week, then another week, and soon, you’ve post­poned it for so long you’re almost embar­rassed to call. To main­tain your momen­tum, your pas­sion, your zeal, work on your book reg­u­larly. Don’t allow too much time to pass between writ­ing ses­sions.” — Gene Per­ret
