Putting in the work is hard

“How do you write a book? One word at a time.”

If you’ve ever heard the old adage about how do you eat an elephant (one bite a time), the above will sound familiar. That doesn’t make it any less difficult.

Making the time to write, if it’s not already a habit, may be harder than the writing itself. This is where I’m at right now – I’m having trouble making the time to write.

I could give you a dozen different reasons why, but the reality is, I’m not sitting down at the keyboard. I’m not putting in the work. Because it’s hard.

I’ll try to be better tomorrow.
