Don’t Wait To Feel Inspired: Tips to Get You Writing When You Don’t Feel Like It
When it comes to writing, don’t wait to feel inspired.
If you wait to write only when you feel inspired, then you won’t finish. At best, it will take you much longer to write that paper, report, article, blog post or book you are trying to write.
Waiting to feel inspired is just not going to work, especially if you are, or want to be, a professional writer, or if writing is a large part of your livelihood and the way you make some income.
Here are some quotes and tips to get you writing again when you feel least inspired.
