According to Ray Bradbury, who passed away this week, \u201cYou must not talk about writing, you must do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Are any of you still just talking about writing your memoir, a children\u2019s story, a business or reference book or a novel? Or is everyone who reads this blog writing? <\/p>\n
Who are you writing for? Yourself, an editor or a particular audience?<\/p>\n
Do you know why you are writing? To make a point, to share something from inside you, to gain more credibility in your field or because you can\u2019t not write? If you aren\u2019t writing, do you know why? Is it that you haven\u2019t discovered a strong enough motivation to write? What would it take to motivate you to finally start writing?<\/p>\n
Do you have trouble finding time to write? What would you have to give up in order to start writing or to spend more time writing? <\/p>\n
What are your writing goals? Have you set some? If you don\u2019t have a goal and you haven\u2019t found your motivation, you are probably still in the talking stages\u2014you\u2019re talking about writing, but you aren\u2019t doing it.<\/p>\n
