Be persistent from "summary" of Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
Persistence is key in the writing process. It's the act of showing up day after day, even when the words don't flow easily and the ideas feel stuck. It's about continuing to put pen to paper, fingers to keyboard, even when doubt creeps in and the blank page seems daunting. Being persistent means pushing through the resistance and the fear that often accompany the act of writing. It's about silencing the inner critic that tells you your work isn't good enough, that you're not talented enough to be a writer. It's about acknowledging those thoughts and then choosing to ignore them, to keep going despite them. The truth is, writing is hard. It's a messy, chaotic process that requires dedication and perseverance. But it's also incredibly rewarding. There's nothing quite like the feeling of finally finding the right words, of seeing your ideas come to life on the page. And the only way to get to that point is to keep at it, day in and day out. So, when you're feeling stuck or discouraged, remember to be persistent. Keep showing up, keep putting in the work, and eventually, you'll break through the blockages and find your way to the other side. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it.
