Writing is similar to marriage. You make a choice of what type of genre you want to write. You become excited and fall in love with your writing. As with marriage, you also find yourself committing your time and effort to it on a consistent basis. But eventually, your writing takes a pitfall. People become discouraging, you hit rejection city, sickness may come, or your schedule may become more hectic. You begin to lose motivation and the romance you once had with your writing begins to fade.
What happened? Will you ever restore your passion for writing or will you chuck your writing up as a hobby and push your well-crafted words under your bed to collect dust?
Wait! Before you completely shut your writing dreams away, pull yourself together and renew your passion and romance for writing. How?
- Remind yourself of why you loved writing in the first place
- Recommit yourself to writing
- Write a recommitment statement for your writing, and include 3 writing goals
- Recite it everyday
- Take action and work on one of your goals by writing for at least 10-15 minutes everyday
While your love for writing will seem to fade, you can renew it by refocusing and writing again. Refuse to divorce your writing!
