Write The Damn Thing

December 22, 2013 By Joel Runyon 4 Comments

It’s really not that hard.

  1. Put your butt in the chair.
  2. Plug in your headphones.
  3. Put on some music.
  4. Write the damn thing.

Seriously. It’s not as hard as you’re making it to be.

(not-so-fun fact: I originally drafted this post may 24th, 2010 – it’s still relevant today – almost 3 years later when I finally published it)

    Well, the not-so-fun-fact is really funny (for me), and the 4 items are something I would sign…

    Crazy spot-on. I had to write an apple script to auto disable my wifi daily so that I can focus enough to write.

      Great Idea to disable WiFi each day to focus. =)
