Your writing chair called. It told me that it misses you and that it’s tired of your excuses:
- You don't have time to write
- You don't know what to write about.
- American Idol is on. Writing can wait.
- Doh! You missed that deadline. Oh well, you can do it tomorrow.
Why is it so hard to keep that appointment with your writing chair?
Usually it’s because even if we like to write, sometimes writing feels HARD. It takes a lot of energy, and if we are tired and worn out, writing is the last thing we want to do.
But if you’re creating a product or service that depends on you cranking out a solid piece of writing, then you have to stop getting in your own way. Your chair is waiting for you to decide to sit down in it.
The first step to fixing any problem is simply admitting that it is a problem. And hopefully this next sentence is going to make you feel a lot better.
You are not alone.
What you are feeling when you are ready to face that blank page is common; so common in fact, that I feel totally comfortable making this very bold statement:
Writers: we are at war!
The enemy’s name? Procrastination. It haunts every one of us, even when we have years of experience under our belts. It’s the everyday battle that is waged inside our heads.
It's the epic battle between YOU and YOU.
One side of YOU (the Productive You) has all the answers and motivations you need to sit down and write anytime you want. The Productive You is excited to get the words down on paper and so that you can share it with the world.
The other side of YOU (the trickster known as the Procrastinator) will do everything in its power to keep the Productive You away from your writing chair.
So who will win?
Today, it's probably a coin toss either way. And I dare say that if your Trickster is like mine, it's devious and manipulative to the core with good intentions gone bad. Your defenses have been exhausted, and you are ready to run the white flag up in defeat.
But before you do that, take a step back. Your war isn't as bad as you think it is. You just don't have the right tools yet. You need a plan. You need a Battle Plan.
When any part of your business depends on your ability to write consistently, you can't afford to be put off by the wiles of the Procrastinator. Your writing goals are too important to leave to chance.
