Procrastination: Ways to help
As someone starting on this beautiful adventure of learning the craft of a wordsmith and having dreams of becoming a writer, procrastination has hurt me the most in doing what my heart knows is the right path to follow.

First, I must take care of fill-in-the-blank before I start writing; we know that is all just plain bullshit. I am scared. I don’t want to be told, “you suck.” I want my work to be loved – or at least liked – by people other than close family members and friends. I mean, who wants to be rejected. About anything. And yet – as writers – that is a constant thing we have to fight. Rejection of your story means rejection of you – at least in the eyes of the writer, so that makes it hard to start writing. And then you look at statistics in which not very many writers make money at writing. They still work “real jobs” (as my mom said) to support the family and pay the bills.
