How many times have you heard this?
“I’d like to write a book some day.”
Sitting at coffee with a friend:
“I’d like to write a book some day.”
Mingling at the office Christmas party:
“I want to write a book some day.”
Plenty of people are wannabe writers. They’ll tell you about the plot, all the world building they’ve done, the cool characters they’ve devised.
Very few actually do anything about it.
They sit on their nice, comfy couches and say, “I’d like to write a book some day.”
You’ve said it yourself, haven’t you?
The couch is very comfortable.
No one blames you. You work hard at your job. When you get home, you’re tired. The couch calls to you: Rest! You’ve earned it!
But do you ever wonder?
Do you ever wonder what it would be like?
To write that book that’s in your head.
To see it outside your head. Words on a screen.
Words on a page.
But words on a page don’t get there by themselves. Words on a page need a writer to write them.
Do you want to be a writer?
If so, there are two things you absolutely have to do.
- Decide you want to be a writer.
- Prove to yourself that you are a writer.
Do you want to be a writer?
Say it.
“I want to be a writer.”
