Writing Coach Podcast 119: I want to, I want to not

WCP119 I want to, I want to not

This is the first of two episodes exploring the intersection of desire, commitment, and priorities. Is there something in your writing life that you strongly desire but haven’t committed to yet? Writers who mistake desire for commitment are actually committed to wanting to do something-request deadline extension, write a book, pitch a dream publication, earn 2x more than last year-rather than committed to making it happen.

Is there something in your writing life that you strongly desire but haven’t committed to yet?

Writers who mistake desire for commitment are actually committed to wanting to do something—request deadline extension, write a book, pitch a dream publication, earn 2x more than last year—rather than committed to making it happen.

They want the thing. And they also don’t want it. Let’s explore if you’re in this situation and how to move forward.
