There have been so many days lately that I’ve found it difficult to write. It’s the end of summer. So much is going on. The kids are home. I’m trying to plan for two book releases—one book I created myself. Comic Con is coming, along with ACFW, where I’m doing critiques this year. More, more, more! And when I sit down to write . . . blah.

But I make myself sit there. I have a book to write, so I absolutely must sit there. I have no choice. And I’ve found that the more I make myself write—while those first few paragraphs are painful and might take me an hour—eventually, the words start flowing. Faster and faster. But I have to struggle through those first few paragraphs first.

If writing is hard for you lately, don’t give up. Keep on writing. At some point, the words will flow.
