99% of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. ~ George Washington Carver
They say it takes 21 days to make a habit. It only takes one to break them.
And I, for one, am in the habit of breaking habits. Particularly writing habits. It’s not that I don’t write. I do, but my “habit” is about as constant as rain in the Sahara.
You see I have these writing binges. It’s really kind of freaky. It’s like all my writing gets built up inside me one day, and BAM next thing I know I’ve written 9K and am so bushed that I don’t write at all the rest of the week.
Not a healthy habit I guess. Sometimes I write consecutive days, but if I do that I usually only get between 800-1500 words done. It seems kind of measly compared to the writing binges I go on.
But that is all going to change. As of today I’m going to make myself begin a new habit! 21 days of habitual writing, and hopefully I will break the Sahara writing curse and find greener pastures in writing everyday.
I figure, even if I only write 300 words, it is something right? And something is always better than nothing.
Why am I telling you this? Well I’m hoping that the shame of admitting to the internet, and my readers that I’ve failed will keep me from failing. I mean it can’t be too hard, right?
What about you all, are you habitual writers? Bingers? Or sparadic dibble dabblers?
