#376 The decision has already been made

It’s not about the book; it’s about the fact that you started writing consistently.

It’s not about the marathon; it’s about the fact that you started practicing diligently.

Achievements are the results that will soon become a distant memory.

Habits are the results you’ll carry with you for a lifetime.

If you know what you want to say but you can’t find the words yet, write without thinking about the words.

Write while thinking about the feeling.

Allow yourself to feel it first.

Feel it fully, then write the words.

Feel it fully, let stream-of-consciousness words come out..

Feel it fully, then start sculpting away.

Keep feeling it, and keep writing about it. Every day. Because sooner or later, feeling the words words will reveal what you want to say.

Writing isn’t hard. Writing every day is – until it isn’t anymore.

That’s when writing becomes hard.

Build the habit, then you get a shot at building the skill.
