I cannot tell you how many people call me and tell me they want to write a book or even just become a freelance copywriter but they don’t have time to do it.
What????
Time is what you make of it. There is no easy solution to writing a book other than to start at page one and keep writing. There is no easy and quick fix to being a freelance writer or copywriter other than start at a blank page, fill that page and then send it out with a query.
So if any of these excuses are stopping you – get rid of them:
1. I haven’t experienced enough to write well.
2. Everything has been written before, why should I add to that?
3. There’s no room for a new copywriter and how would I get work?
4. I don’t write perfectly.
5. I can’t make a living at it. (True, if you don’t try you can’t make a living at it.)
6. My dog’s going to eat whatever I write.
7. I’m worried about rejection.
8. I need to read more books on “writing”.
9. I’m having writers’ block.
10. I’m too busy revising the two pages I wrote five years ago that still aren’t “quite perfect”.
WRITE!!!!!
You can do this! Make the time, and you will see success.

Nettie, thank you for this fabulous kick in the pants. I have a client who has moved though all 10 of the “objections” in less than a year, and is on her way to a published book, probably two. Nothing happens until you put your dreams on your to-do list, and your pen to paper.
Lisa! I agree! thanks for always commenting on the blog! And bravo to you and your client for moving through!
