I think I need an accountability partner. Pretty kindergarten, I know. If I could get just one hour in a day it would really build into something.<BR/>P.S.

And while I believe it is worthwhile, it is hard to actually make the time to do it: like you said, what is the positive impact?

For me, I think it comes down to a few things:<BR/>believing the lie that it's "too hard"/"too much work", feeling like I have to continue working on one specific topic but not wanting to, and not seeing any positive impact of my writings.<BR/><BR/>Anyone else have similar or different "reasons"? Any suggestions on how to combat these?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379948095070486366noreply@blogger.com
