But…

I read something interesting recently about replacing the word but with the word and. They said something along the lines of, “oh I would eat healthier BUT I have no time.” So we want to change that to, “I would eat healthier AND I have no time so…”

It is easy to give reasons for not doing something, there could be millions. There could be millions of but’s.

There is only ONE reason to do something. If your priority is to learn how to write better? Why write for any other reason than to write better? Why read a book if it won’t help you write better? Why see a movie if it won’t help you write better? Why go to an event if it won’t help you write better?

What about the flip side? We’re past that. You want to write better, okay cool. You are going to write 3 articles a week (wait… that’s me).

So what happens when it is Saturday night and you have a football game and you haven’t written your piece for Sunday yet? Oh, it’s okay to skip one week right? Oh, but you had a football game. Oh, but you’re tired. Oh, but no one will notice. Oh, but you don’t have a topic selected yet.

Nope. Unacceptable.

I want to write every Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday AND I had a football game SO I will…

I want to BECOME a better writer. How can I BECOME anything if I do NOTHING? Not possible.
