Motivational Monday Quote


BEING A REAL WRITER MEANS BEING ABLE TO
DO THE WORK ON A BAD DAY.
(Norman Mailer)

What he said. 

If you're having a bad day - or week, or month, etc. - hang in there. You're doing what you're meant to be doing. If writing (or whatever your craft is) was easy, everyone would do it.

  1. How about procrastinating? I'm pretty sure some of the best, realest (sp?) writers have been guilty of that too on occasion. But even when I'm finding plenty of distractions to keep me from the work, I have this anxious feeling straining inside of me, and it won't quit until I've written something for the day.

  2. How true! Guess that means I need to forget about how hot it is and get to work.

  3. Milo, I'll have to answer you later... Ha! Get it? :)

    (This is why I'm not a humor/comedy writer.)

  4. Donna, I would either write about how hot it is - have someone's skin sizzle or brain melt - OR write about the cold - someone getting brain freeze from drinking a slushee or a snowman becoming possessed by an evil spirit...

    (Sheesh, where did that come from? Maybe MY brain has melted...)
