Try this the next time you’re tempted to put off your dream because life has gotten in the way:
- What’s your endgame? Write out your priorities in the midst of whatever adversity you’re dealing with. Whether you need income to help with your problems or something to occupy your mind while you deal with other stresses, articulate how and why writing is the answer. Read and re-read this if you start to falter or question why you’re writing.
- Set “guideline goals.” Goals are always helpful, but I don’t recommend making hard and fast ones if you’re dealing with a lot of stress right now. Still, setting guidelines for what you want or need from writing gives you something to move toward.
- Give yourself extra credit. Even if you can’t always be doing whatever you are supposed to because of whatever constraints you’ve got going on, you can always be doing something. Maybe that means listening to podcasts or watching videocasts on the specific niche specialty you’re pursuing. Maybe it means getting a word-of-the-day calendar so you steadily enrich your vocabulary. Or it means writing a hundred words a day, on any topic. These kinds of actions reinforce your commitment to your goal, and they’ll help you steadily grow your niche knowledge.
