Making it to the Finish Line


I've never been able to finish what I have started. That's one of my worst qualities. A writer in training can never quit. You stop writing for one day, and you might as well throw the keyboard out the window. Drain the ink from the pen. Take those blank journals and sell them to a book consignment shop...okay, maybe I'm being a little too dramatic. Trust me though, I know what I'm talking about. I've started many different projects. I would miss a day and off I would go doing other things, forgetting what my original project was. Boredom plays a big part, as well. I tend to get bored easily.

I love to write, so boredom won't be an issue during this journey. Discipline is what I need. I need to make myself go to the computer at least once a day, for ten minutes or more a day, and write. No matter how busy, or tired I get. It's the only way to cure that nasty habit of mine. I know my training will be a long journey for me, but I made a promise to myself that I would finish this journey. I made a promise to finish what I have already started.
