You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't write every day. I write when I want to write.
For the last few years I've tried to force myself to write at least one page every day, which doesn't sound like much but it's actually pretty hard to manage. Because I'm not allowed to do a make-up day. I can't do two pages the next day. The punishment for not completing my page is that I have to eat a vegetarian meal the next day.
I really don't write much anymore, and I'm not uncomfortable with that. I've tried writing and the sentences come out fine, but I write a few pages and I don't want to go on.
It's not hard to write poorly. But to write something good, it has to be revised.
There is no way of writing well and also of writing easily.
I live for the blank page.
The good news, when you write with another, is that you never have an empty page in front of you. The bad news is... you never have an empty page in front of you.
For me, writing never gets easier. It's always hard work. It doesn't matter how many words you wrote the day before, or how many novels you've completed in the last decade: every day you start fresh again with that same blank page, or that same blank screen.
The hardest thing about writing, for me, is facing the blank page.
I can always write. Sometimes, to be sure, what I write is crap, but it's words on the page and therefore it is something to work with.
