Writers—myself included—seem to stare at a clock, wondering if we’re writing fast enough, if we’re hitting our goals on time, etc. But we often forget that life isn’t a race, and neither is writing.
You are amazing whether you write five words or over a thousand words today. It doesn’t matter how fast you get to the end, just that you get there.
If the creative juices are not flowing, that’s all right. It can take time. You don’t have to write every day to be a writer. And forced writing isn’t the best anyway. You can take some breaks.
Remember to take care of yourself during the process as well.

I agree with you. Forced writing isn’t sweet at all. There’s indeed more need to take some time off.

I accept the fact that I am a slow writer. It does make those days when the words just fly, all the more exciting.

Great advice. This craft definitely doesn’t happen fast! I figure it takes about 1500 hours to write and edit a book. Patience and persistence win out in the end.

That’s a lot of hours, but I don’t doubt it! And I agree that patience and persistence is key.

The we sell them for $2,99. Lol. This is a crazy business.

Yeah. I don’t agree with the $2.99 price though. I think writers’ books are worth more.

I do too. LeeAnn! But “un-famous” authors need to attract readers and keeping prices low helps. What a business. And personally, I prefer readers over the small difference in royalties. That’s why I write… to have my stories reach reach readers and enjoyed. 🙂
