The Will To Write

Sometimes when life has forced a break in your writing routine it is hard to get back the desk.  That’s where will power comes in.  Yeah, there are new shows on TV to watch, a dozen new books you could be reading, and even dental surgery may sound like more fun picking up the tattered ends of whatever you were working on before your break, but you are a writer.  That’s what you do.

….and where will power fails, bribes often work. If you put your favorite drink (with a lid) next to your writing on one side and some (healthy yet yummy) snacks on the other side then it makes it a little easier to sit down and get to work.

Once upon a time there was a woman who was a writer. She was either cursed or blessed from birth to be so and there was much debate on which it was. One day a very discouraging (and not very original) person told her not to give up her day job. The woman smiled and said that was a wonderful idea. Following the unwittingly clever advice of her critic, the woman found a job working nights, which left her days free to write. Even better, the night job had an unusual schedule which packed two weeks worth of work into one, so the writer was able to have every other week off to sit on her front porch, daydream, and of course write. However, working at night and writing during the day left little time for sleep, so the poor writer occasionally went a little mad, but she decided it was an acceptable price to pay to be able to continue following her curse-blessing. Also she likes tea. :)
