To write a book, or an article each day, or twice a week, all of it is motivated by a goal that you have set yourself.

Goals need clarity, they need nurturing, and they need constant attention. How are your writing goals doing?

Writing is like a business. You run it, write it, you use your desire coupled with self-discipline to get things done. That’s how it moves and develops.

You don’t take no for an answer, because you know that there is always a solution to a problem set.

Writers who quit, give up, or find a good reason to stop striving for their goal normally do so because they didn’t take their motivations to write seriously enough.

They didn’t see it as a serious, integral part of their life.

Writers need grit and determination. Those are the writers who succeed.

Most people who start a business know that they will have to invest time and money into their enterprise. So, they make sure they’ve got their soldiers lined up before starting a campaign.
