You’re so right, Jonathan about sitting down and writing, but it doesn’t have to be either/or. We can write AND watch TV, browse Facebook. It’s just that so many writers DON’T do both. They just procrastinate and never write.

My point: write first, then play later. You will feel you earned the right and enjoy it more! 🙂

Hi Tamara, our minds DEFINITELY play tricks on us and I’m glad you got my point. Self-doubt will strike again and again, so we need to remember that it’s a trickster and that’s why we’re procrastinating. Thanks.

Thanks, Karen, but I did not create the graphic. However, I’m glad you found this post useful.

I was definitely talking the to Rome wasn’t built in a day folks. MANY writers struggle with perfectionism, so as they’re writing their first draft, they’re worrying as they go…stopping and correcting, etc. Thanks for your thoughts.

It’s so true that we find the time to watch out “favorite” reality TV show or log “just a few more minutes” on Facebook. So if we can find the time for those pursuits, why can’t we find the time to just sit down and write?

But when writing persons tend to expect miracles because it seems that other persons are doing it.

You make a great point to name and list all proscrastinations and then to tackle them one at a time. At least after a few items on the list, you would know that it is just your mind trying to play tricks on you because of doubt.

Those statements are not lies; they’re true. There’s a logic leap missing. I don’t know where you found the graphic, and I’m not about to take issue with you, Ms. McKay, but as a copy editor myself the graphic bothers me for that reason. If it were in my power, I would make one simple change that corrects the issue: “Enough with the white lies.” THE instead of THESE.

The article itself I think is very useful, indeed. Well done!

If you’re implying that people shouldn’t worry about brilliance while they bang away at their first draft, yes, absolutely. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

(And real writing ALSO takes place in the editing phase.)

Congrats on NaNoWriMo, Miriam. Regardless of how much you write, SOME is better than NONE.

Also, do NOT be afraid to be switched to another group. I did NaNoWriMo in 2012 and had to moved to three different groups before I found folks who were actually posting their progress online, brainstorming ideas and giving each other support. Good luck!

Thanks Marcy. I’m actually planning on getting a lot done with it this next month. I’m going to use it for NaNoWriMo because, if I wanted to be completely honest, I really haven’t written a lot, (translation I haven’t started yet). It will be good to get the first draft done. I’ll keep what you said in mind this next month, a novel is written one word at a time.
