A Challenge to Write

I keep telling myself that I'm going to write my second book. Actually, more of the re-write of my first officially complete book. But something always seems to get in my way, whether obligations, lack of 'inspiration' or simply being too tired. But I realized this is a pattern in my life, of being all talk and not sitting down to write. 

I am finally willing to admit a few things:

If I wait for inspiration to hit, I'll never write another book. Just like most habits in life, it has to be cultivated and nurtured through the tender beginning

I haven't written consistently since 2016. How sad is that?

I'm going old school and writing my book longhand so I won't be distracted by Pinterest or Instagram. Or even working on my newest blog post. So this week, I went to the store and bought a brand new college rule notebook and a pack of new pens. There's something satisfying about a brand new notebook, ready to hold the words I create, and a shiny new pen. 

I want to post updates to keep myself accountable. If I say I'm going to do something, I need to keep my word and follow through. 

So here's to writing consistently, to--finally--finishing another book!
