Don’t Give Up
And I don’t mean just with reaching your goal of writing online for a living (yes, folks, this is a n00b’s blog). Some projects you take on can seem damn-near impossible at first, and it’s easy to tell yourself, “Damn, I should send this one back to the client, tell her I’m not up to the task, tuck my tail and run back to Associated Content.” It ain’t necessary.
At the very least, try slogging through for a couple of hours. If there’s a definite format to the articles, then stick to that format religiously. Structure in writing is a great tool that helps you shift brainpower to other areas–like the meat of the content.
And stick-to-it-iveness is at least as important as skill and definitely more important than talent when it comes to getting the damn thing done. Oftentimes, it can take just a half-hour of consistent concentration to get “in the zone,” so that your confidence soars.
I know it’s not the most informative post, my faithful readers, but hopefully it can help somebody out of
a rut.
Talk to ya’ll later–I’ve got to go get back in the zone!
