   53. Behind on Writing

   Despite the fact that most of our writing schedules are our own personal goals, we often tell ourselves we are “behind” at them, or we think that other writers are further ahead than us. Our brains love to tell us that “we are behind,” as though they are just stating the obvious. When actually, there is no universal measuring stick to tell us where we should be in our progress. Being ‘behind,’ or ‘ahead,’ in writing is simply our own thoughts, not a fact of the world. We believe that thinking, “We are behind,” will light a fire under us to get writing, but it does the exact opposite and makes us write less. Here’s how you can start to notice this thought pattern so you can get ahead in your writing. https://www.blockbusterya.com/post/behind-in-writing * © Blockbuster YA Author Coaching LLP Created and produced by Tiana Warner and Stephanie Warner Jingle: Funkorama by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3788-funkorama License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

   51. How to Make Yourself Want to Write More

   For all writers (especially first-time authors), the desire to write competes with the desire not to write. This often looks like a short period of time where you write consistently, immediately followed by a long period where you find yourself not writing as much as you want to be. In your head, you find yourself thinking thoughts like, "I work better in the morning; I’m just going to rest tonight instead.” “I had a long day, and I want to relax.” "I worked all day; I want a break." So you take a break instead of writing. It feels great in the moment, but afterwards, you berate yourself for it. You end up feeling miserable, and you're angry at yourself for giving in. What’s actually going on here is that not that you don’t want the book badly enough or that you don’t have a good enough reason to write, it’s that you have competing desires. But the more you push against your desires, the more you are creating a combative relationship with yourself. You will never get to the finished novel in this kind of relationship – because it’s forced and miserable. In this podcast and blog, learn why the fastest way to get that finished novel is by loving that part of yourself that doesn’t want to write. * © Blockbuster YA Author Coaching LLP Created and produced by Tiana Warner and Stephanie Warner Jingle: Funkorama by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3788-funkorama License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
