Get your writing going down the highway

Slow speeds don’t work for me.

Let’s move!

It’s time to get moving if you are going to create content. Do not delay, my writer friend. Get going forward.

If there’s one thing I don’t like it is procrastination. I see it all the time and it just annoys me.

“I’ll do it later," says one person.

“Next week," says another.

And then what happens? You guessed it. Life happens and then things are forgotten and never completed.

WRITING HIGHWAY

How do you get on a highway when you are driving a car? First, get on the onramp. Next, pick up speed. Third, pick a lane. Lastly, keep moving without stopping.

What about writing?

It’s the same principle. Pick a topic, start writing, and keep going until you publish your new content.

That’s all fine and dandy. But sometimes you have to do more if you want to separate from the other drivers (writers).

It might be time to shift into high gear. Pick a challenge for yourself and push yourself more. Exceed your own expectations. Do more than you ever thought possible as a writer.

If you need some motivation, imagine that you are a writer and that you have a powerful engine in an awesome vehicle. Get ready to show off your work on the content creation highway.
