“There was a moment when I changed from an amateur to a professional. I assumed the burden of a profession, which is to write even when you don’t want to, don’t much like what you’re writing, and aren’t writing particularly well.” – Agatha Christie
Writing, like any other craft, takes commitment. Everyone has their own idea of what commitment and hard work look like. I prefer the idea of flowing like water, gently striking against small pieces consistently. I mean, that can move mountains. The truth is that writing every night turns your craft into something else entirely. It can be a place to experiment with circumstances, relationships, love, and good old-fashioned writing techniques. There’s a lot that can be learned from writing. The most important thing to learn, though, is more about yourself.
Do you think of writing as something you need to be committed to?
