Thanks for the encouragement! Since my butt is already in the chair, I think I'll just go write something now. )

I've been stuck trying to freelance, write, and build clips. It's overwhelming. Thanks for this post, definitely puts it all into perspective.

I actually find that I've come to enjoy the business aspect of writing. Even doing the taxes! Hopefully this will happen for you too, Jillian.

Thanks, Juliet. I've been doing well with my walks this week. Hope the rain continues to stay away. Happy walking!

What great tips! Thanks for sharing them. I especially find going for a walk to be a great way to jump start ideas for articles and fiction stories. I can also relate to the ongoing battles with fear of success and failure.

Great advice. I can't imagine that success won't come after writing three hours every day for a year. I just have to depart from the writing to work on the business end, which is not fun!

Great post! That list of hang ups is spot on and the list of 'excuse breakers' is awesome.
