We got to a crux in conversation with a couple of authors the other day. It wasn’t about how to write or how to self publish. It wasn’t about the need for a marketing budget. It was about enjoying the process.
One author switches to working on short stories to continue enjoying the process of writing when editing his novel gets hard.
Another author simply takes a break each time she starts to get frustrated while editing.
Yet another said they had written down all the challenges they expected to face so they couldn’t complain when they happened (ex: I’ll have to cut some great ideas).
It was a great reminder to construct a way to enjoy the process of our jobs or relationships or parenting or -insert your muse here-.
It’s far easier to enjoy a process when we’re intentional about enjoying the process.
