Starting is easy. There are no prizes for starting the marathon. You get the medal for finishing.
Most people I know are good at starting. Few people I know are good at finishing.
Who do you know who is good at finishing?
What do they do differently?
The closer you get to the end, the stronger the emotional resistance grows.
“An artist never finishes a work, he abandons it.”
Pablo Picasso
I thrive on interaction. This blog gives me a short term feedback as I write. I can hit publish after 15 to 20 minutes and immediately get responses.
I’ve consistently failed to write a book because I am addicted to the short term feedback of blog comments, of emails, of youtube videos… I’ve never been able to commit to the 3 year process of writing without “likes” and comments.
The question for me: is it still important to me to write a book?
