61. There is no shortcut to becoming an incredible writer – Daily Writing Advice # 61

There is no shortcut. And if you’re desperate for one, you might not truly be in love with the process.

I’ve been doing this since 2012, and I still consider myself a massive newbie. After all that time, I’ve just got my first book coming out into the world. And I’m stoked with that, because I love the process so much and I love all the challenges ahead of me. Writing makes me feel alive. If it does the same for you, then it won’t matter that there isn’t a shortcut – because the long road will be worth it.

Don’t ask, ‘what’s the least I can do?’

Instead, ask, ‘what’s the most I can bare?’
