Why I Don't Quit

Every time that I don’t write on a regular basis, I start to think of what won’t happen to my life. I’ll have a decent, yet mediocre life being another face in the crowd. The potential to be something more pulls me back in and doesn’t allow me to just totally quit trying to be a published author.

I’m pretty hard on myself when I don’t write. There’s a saying that if you aren’t moving forward, then you’re moving backwards. I have acquaintances that tell me that I sometimes need to just take a break every once in a while, but I don’t want to make excuses and just admit to me being lazy and idle.

I have been on-and-off as far as writing consistently is concerned, as of late. In trying to achieve a big goal, one just doesn’t see the end of it in sight, so it’s easy to become lazy or put things off. Focus and discipline are simply necessary, along with the acceptance that this process can just be a grind.
