Perhaps writing is not a job I am paid for right now, but thinking of it as my life's work or my occupation has helped me frame my writing in a way that forces a shift in thinking, habits, priorities, etc. <br /><br />By thinking of writing as an occupation, in the sense that I think you mean, it gives the work weight and importance. It is really about taking your work and your self seriously.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978176432357891953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274987097756433491.post-41138582135356615782011-10-28T04:17:23.005-05:002011-10-28T04:17:23.005-05:00You're absolutely right, Kristen. And I very m...You're absolutely right, Kristen. And I very much relate to this:<br /><br />"Sure I wrote every day, or very near to it, but I diddled, dawdled, and all around procrastinated with my writing. Nothing every got done. It just got rewritten. Over. And. Over. Again."<br /><br />So, yeah, I've got to step things up a notch. Write every day (that's the easy part) and make progress (that's a little harder) and by the end of this year, send out my WIP for beta reading, no matter how bad I think it is (this will be really freaking HARD!)<br /><br />Oh, and I just happened to notice that your post is the 500th post on ATWOP! Time for some virtual confetti and champagne - cheers!Rachel Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406943046329566026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274987097756433491.post-62626572428134661062011-10-27T18:22:27.573-05:002011-10-27T18:22:27.573-05:00Amen to that last line.
