I used to be someone who said that I never had time to write. This year, I forced myself to make time. It worked. I finally got into the habit of daily writing. Now I don't feel totally right about the day until I've written.
In fact, the habit is TOO ingrained. I now have to make a schedule for writing because if I don't, I won't do anything else all day once I start. I also stay up too late writing and I'm tired all next morning. So I need to schedule a LIMIT on how long I'm allowed to write. That's an amazing luxury in a writer's life.
To get to this moment is cause for celebration. I feel like I've earned the right to believe I'm seriously committed to this and I'm a "real" writer now.
