When I first started writing,
I wrote whatever I wanted.
I didn’t have a writing schedule
or a submissions schedule
or… well… any schedule.
I also didn’t get much done
and even less sold.
Now, I have a career plan.
I have a writing plan.
I have
annual, monthly,
weekly, daily schedules.
I’m a professional
and I get sh*t done.
As Pete Cashmore,
founder of Mashable,
shares
“Execution really shapes
whether your company takes off or not.
I’m very much a creative person,
but you’ve got to do the follow-through.
A lot of people start out
with an exciting thing
and they want to take over the world,
but really the people who do
take over the world
have a good plan of
how to get there
and the steps along the way.”
Create a plan
and then follow it.
