Ever spend hours, just waiting for the “perfect time” to start writing?

Maybe first you decide to do a guided visualization. Or answer a few emails. Could be that there’s that perfect song that always gets your juices flowing… or a motivational youtube video you love…

Well…

Here’s a tip: Don’t wait and don’t find an excuse to do something else.

Just start.

I know it sounds crazy. Maybe impossible.

But here’s the thing:

When you’re not writing, it almost never “feels like” the right time to start writing.

And, as it turns out, it’s nearly always better to write something bad than to write nothing at all.

As the great Gary Halbert said, “Motion is better than meditation.”

That is what we’ll talk about today.
