It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s less than a week until Christmas and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m right on schedule with my tasks and activities. Isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it amazing how something that seems so overwhelming can come together so flawlessly? But I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve learned through years of writing for a living that in order to achieve success on a project, one must consistently move in the direction of his or her goal. <\/p>\n
The difference between a writer and someone who wants to be a writer is purposeful action. While the wannabe\/would be writer just thinks about becoming a writer, the writer has taken the steps necessary to make it happen.<\/p>\n
How often have you felt overwhelmed at the thought of writing an entire book or completing an article assignment? It happens to me almost every time I face a large project. But I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stay in that mode for long. Instead, I quickly map out my writing course, schedule my time and then begin the process of study, research, interviews, outlining, writing, editing, proofing and ultimately completing the book or article. You can do the same.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t matter if you take baby steps or giant steps, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just important that you move forward toward your writing goal.<\/p>\n
