So I borrowed Nike's slogan for this one. But really, would you expect anything less from the Greek goddess of victory? You can't be victorious without effort.
That might mean thinking about how your next scene will progress while you're taking a shower. Or writing twenty words while you eat breakfast. Or you could stay up late at night writing a scene only to be interrupted by your water breaking.
The point is, just do it. Make it a priority. You owe it to yourself; don't expect others to pay your debts for you.
"One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals." ~Michael Korda
"Have your Hosiyin lecture you on the history of your kind. Just know that when the Stewards fought, there were those humans who continued to believe in Arinur and sided with him. The ways of humans are slow to change--if they change at all."
Time split in keeping promises, working and doing research in order to continue my story. Oh, and also in wondering why I chose India as the place where everything is supposed to start and end. Why didn't I choose a country with only one language instead of 200 in a single city? Why didn't I create my own land with my own language and be done with it? Why didn't I chose my country which customs and traditions I do know? Gawd, I love to make my life difficult!
Just Do it.
