Some writers are very disciplined. Me? Not so much. As life happens, my writing pays the price. It tends to be the first thing that gets moved to the “I’ll do it tomorrow” list and I end up feeling frustrated with my lack of progress. I admire writers who stick to schedules, who recognize the importance in what they do. In an effort to make some changes in my writing life, I came up with a set of commandments that I hope will help me stay on the path.

These Writers commandments are just ‘IT.’ Once you can keep to these rules, ‘Thou shall not be banished to the land of 404.’ 😉

I like your list, I have struggled with the title of writer for years. I feel that I have not earned the description. Hmm.

I think that is a struggle many of us face. But maybe its that reluctance to accept the title that is keeping us from achieving our dreams.
