10. Your Excuses

I just laid down the gauntlet. You have everything you need to know about how to become a good writer.

It’s all on you now.

I sincerely believe everything you want in your writing career is possible. I want you to succeed, badly.

But I can’t want it more than you do.

Do me a favor, for the next week, 30, or 90 days — just shut up and write. No more putting off starting that blog, writing that post, or outlining that book.

No more excuses.
