Chances are the first time you wrote a song or a poem or a thank you card, you felt like doing it.
Once you’ve sat down and written ten times, sometimes you felt like it (like you did the first time) and sometimes maybe not quite as much but you did it anyway.
When you’ve written a hundred times, there really starts to be a wide range of ‘feeling like it’. Times when you were really pumped, sometimes not pumped at all, a lot of times somewhere in between.
Where you’re at on the scale of Feeling Like It begins to matter less and less as to whether or not you write.
When you’ve written a thousand times, the scale of Feeling Like It is pretty irrelevant. You’ve felt every point on the scale and written anyway. You’ve been there done that. You’ve shown up inspired and uninspired and gotten down to business in the face of how you feel.
So keep feeling like it or not feeling like it or somewhere in between, but keep going. Keep writing.
