1. If you don’t write your story, who will?
2. Procrastinate… but then write.
3. You make time to go to the gym, work, sleep, socialise, so why not make time to write?
4. Research is MASSIVE and time consuming and from all the info you collate, you’ll condense it to two lines in your story.
5. Give yourself permission to write a ‘vomit’ draft (get it out of you). You can fix a bad page but you can’t fix a blank page.
