Why I write every day

(even when I don't want to)


Most people wait to feel inspired before they write.


I don’t.


I write to create inspiration.


Even when I can’t be arsed.


Even when I used to feel like the biggest impostor in the world.


Even when the words felt clunky, forced, and written by a horse..


Because the point, my dear reader, isn’t to write something perfect.


The point is to show up as a writer.


Once you see yourself as a writer, the resistance weakens and your will only grows stronger by the minute.


Your identity carries you through the hard days and makes yesterday's troubles feel like a piece of cake.


You stop negotiating with yourself.


You stop making excuses.


You just open the doc and run like the wind, bullseye.


Start small if you have to.



Just write.


And do it every day.


Even if it’s bad.


Nay, especially if it’s bad.


You’ll thank yourself (and me) later.
