Do You Need More Discipline To Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions?
Most writers who aren’t writing believe they need more discipline. But what if everything you believed about writing discipline was working against you?
For many writers, discipline isn’t the answer – it’s actually part of the problem. When you use discipline to force yourself to write, you can often inadvertently create a rebellious response that makes you resist writing even more.
Instead of praying for massive rainstorms of inspiration or punishing yourself for not writing enough, imagine turning on a gentle drip from the tap. That consistent drip will form a rivulet, then a stream, then eventually a mighty river.
By breaking writing into small, achievable 7-minute sessions and removing all judgment about quality, you can build a sustainable writing practice that grows naturally from desire rather than external pressure. This podcast will show you how, PLUS…
