How To Be A Writer…

The #1 Fool-Proof Method

By Scott CorvusPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Write.

Good. Now, write some more.

Write when you're tired. Write when you're not.

Write when it's hard. Write when it's easy.

Write when you doubt yourself.

Write when you're stressed.

Write when you're angry.

Write when you've lost hope.

Write when you've found it again.

Write in the morning. Write at night.

Write when you breathe in. Write when you breathe out.

Write today.

Write tomorrow.

Write.

Every.

Day.

You see the pattern.

There are a million systems out there that teach you how to be more productive and become better at what you do. You could take every single one of them and still be a horrendous writer. It's an often thankless craft that's hard to grasp, but over time, you'll look back on your progress and be thankful for the hours you've put into it.

Carpenters shape wood.

Mechanics fix cars.

Fisherman catch fish.

By default, a writer has to write.

Ask yourself this question constantly... Am I writing right now?

-Yes, good. Now keep writing.

-No, that's fine. I think it's about time you got some writing done though.
