Doing the Work

Right now my practice is simply the practice, it is spending at least a little bit of time every single day on building the author empire of my dreams.

I can get very caught up in feeling frustrated that I don't already have the thing, or don't already exist on the level I want to be. And that can start to make everything feel very futile, pointless, discouraging.

Silly, almost. Worthless, to try to sit down and force out a few hundred words in a document because what I should have already is several finished documents, and that takes so long when I'm yearning and aching for change now.

So I'm trying to open my eyes to the fact that this IS the change. This IS the lifestyle. This IS the goal of being a writer. This is it, right here, you're literally physically going it right now.

This is your origin story, babe, you're living it right now.

Ironic to envy the stories of other writers who made it happen around full-time jobs and kids, etc., but somehow you can't do it --- this IS it!

You're doing it right now. This is you doing it. Hello!
