Socializa-no.

In continuing our series in wanting to be a writer, here’s another thing you’ll have to accept (and get used to, as time goes on):

3.      Lack of a social life

Yes, it’s true. If you’re a writer, and you want to be a serious writer, you’ll spend more time writing than you’ll spend doing anything else.

As writers, we write…

• Even if we don’t want to.
• When we think we’re too busy to do so.
• If we’re not feeling well.
• When we had plans, but got a brilliant idea before we left.
• If we’d rather be doing something else.

Even if your writing makes you famous, you’ll still be writing more than you’ll be doing anything else (unless you give it up after one big book or series).

It’s the plain and simple truth.

Writers write, even when we have other things to get done.

Why, you ask?

Because we’d rather be writing than doing anything else. 

Truth.
