As a writer, there are sins you want to avoid at all costs.
- Making excuses. You aren’t too busy. You have the time.
- Copying someone else. You are your own person. You don’t need to steal ideas from anyone else because your brain is perfectly capable of coming up with some yourself.
- Whining. All that time spent complaining can be better spent doing something productive.
- Disrespecting others. How hard is it to respect people?
- Not writing. Words won’t start writing themselves. Forget waiting until you’re motivated or inspired. Forget feeling ready. Just start.
You can do this! You’re a writer, remember?

Ha ha, i like the last sentence..Words definitely do not start writing themselves… 🙂
Yeah, it’s very true.
Sigh… You can’t make me write! 😉
I can’t make anyone do anything.
If you want it, just do it!
Exactly. Want it, work for it.
Great info! Thanks for the morale boost, too. Have a great day
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Have an awesome day!
Well, what tips do you have for writers that are willing to not wait for the “right” time but can’t generate an interesting topic to get the writing mojo going?
Read books, articles, etc. Watch movies, talk to people, get inspiration from others. Or just start writing until you stumble upon an interesting topic.
Number 2 is a good one to add. It is amazing how many people will steal their content. It has happened to me countless times. =\
I’m sorry to hear that. 😦
Excellent counsel! #5 is so so true–I wish it weren’t so and I’m happy it works.
Elouise
Exactly. I feel the same way.
Happy writing Elouise!
Yeh…it’s great when the dam bursts!
I love the feeling.
