A Writer's Practice: Building Your Writing Muscle - Introduction


Introduction
A writer should write every day to keep their creative juices flowing.
You've probably heard this before. There is some truth to this. You see, I believe that creativity is like a river flowing through us. Sometimes, it's strong; sometimes, it's a trickle. But by learning how to connect with it, we can harness its power and direct it to build worlds, tell stories, and share our truth. And sometimes, when we talk about discipline and focused work, it can take the creativity out of the creative process.
I wrote this book to help you tap into your creative process in a way that will touch on discipline with feeling the discipline. To help you tap into that creative flow, develop your unique writer's voice, and establish a sustainable writing practice. Writing isn't about waiting for the perfect moment of inspiration or staring at a blank page—it's about tapping into the creative energy that's already inside you, ready to flow.
In this book, you'll discover practical steps to build a consistent writing habit, develop the discipline to stay on track and learn how to overcome common writing challenges. Whether you are a new writer, have been writing in your journal and collection of white notepads or even if you have been writing for some time - the techniques I discuss will help you stay connected to your creativity and will help you write every day.
Writing isn't just a talent—it's a practice. It takes time, patience, and persistence. But with the right approach, you'll see real progress in your writing journey. So, let's dive in and start building the writing practice that will sustain you and unlock the full potential of your creative flow. Thank you for including me in your process and I hope you find this book helpful.
