Committing To Effort In Your Writing And Your Life

(www.thegoldenpencil.com)

Seth Godin has a wonderful post called Is effort a myth?. (Thanks to Your Book Publishing Coach for the pointer.)

It’s a wonderful and helpful essay, complete with the suggestion to find 120 minutes each day and commit to something positive. He lists a number of things that can be done with that time, plus makes some other suggestions I like.

If I had to choose just one it would be: Only spend money, for one year, on things you absolutely need to get by. Save the rest, relentlessly. In fact, I’m going to do that and so commit to you, and myself of course.

And in the writing vein, in addition to this blog and some other stuff, today I will get the back-of-jacket copy written for my book about writing books.

What will you commit to today publicly?

Write well and often,

Two newsletters:
