While walking with a new friend, she shared with me her dream to be a writer.
I asked her, “What have you published?”
Nothing.
Not a single word out there in the gaze of critical eyes, in any form. Not even a tweet.
As with so many dreamers, they just love to drift, romanticising about their dream, flitting here and there.
This is as relevant to the dream of being a writer as to achieving high office.
Within 10 minutes my new friend had a concrete plan of action, a clear “get started” strategy, and more importantly, the inspiration to get started.
Trouble is, it’s easy when you know how!
Step one is acting as if you’re serious about reaching your goal.
