What do you do when you don’t want to write? When you’re having an “I don’t feel like it” day. We all have them. When you’re whiny, not in the mood, you want to watch television, or go shopping, or go outside, or you’d rather do anything else other than write.

It’s not like taking a day off work, when you can find someone to fill in for you, someone to pick up the slack until you get back to things.

If you don’t write your book, who else is going to do it? This is writing, it’s a solitary endeavor. If you don’t do the work, it doesn’t get done.

We don’t get to take a day off and assign our writing tasks to someone else. If we don’t write, the writing doesn’t get done. If we’re not in the mood and decide we’re just not going to write today, then we get behind.

Who’s going to finish your book if not you? The answer is no one. Only you can do it.

Get to work
