My Ten Commandments of Writing
A few days ago a writer from my publisher asked us to post
our own commandments for writing, and to link to each other. Here are mine.
Links to come.
11
Some days you’ll have writer’s block. Write
anyway.
22
Some days you’ll find plot holes that set you
back weeks’ worth of work. Write anyway.
33
Some days you will be inarticulate. Write
anyway.
44
Every day you will be inadequate. Write anyway.
55
Some days you will be distracted. Write anyway.
66
Some days you will hate writing. Write anyway.
77
Some days you will be busy. Write anyway.
88
Some days you will be tired. Write anyway.
99
Some days you will be sick. Write anyway.
110
And every day, rest in God. Tell Him your
worries and frustrations and hopes. Pray hard. Listen to Him. And then write
anyway.
