How to Build a Sustainable Writing Practice


Listen Later

Why is it so hard to put pen to paper when you desperately long to write? The answer to this question is deceptively simple: because writing isn’t easy — and neither is drumming up the motivation to complete difficult creative work.

But with a well-established writing practice, there’s no need to chase the muse or strive to drum up a measure of motivation. You sit down and do the work because it’s your habit to do so. Because you’ve created a simple system that allows you to make slow but steady progress toward your goals and dreams regardless of the difficult work involved.

That is the power of habit — and in today's episode, I'm sharing everything you need to know about building a sustainable writing practice of your own.
