Writing: It takes time

I know a lot of people may have the grand idea of wanting to be an author but don’t have the time or can’t seem to be able to get their ideas to paper and in an interesting readable way. I struggle with both of these.

However, we should not worry about time as sometimes it takes best-selling authors a few years to write their bestselling books – sometimes big things take a while to come to fruition:

Meet John.

John has a big dream - becoming an author.

But John feels he has no time. He’s a lawyer, has a family and his days are packed.

But his dream doesn’t leave him alone, and he decides to do one small action:

Write one page per day.

However much he has going on, this he can do. So he starts - some days are easy, others are hard, but he keeps going.

It takes John 3 years to finish his first novel.

John has now gone on to publish one book per year and has sold over 300 million copies in 42 language.

All this from one small action: one page a day and limited time with a busy life.

Who is John?  None other than the bestselling author John Grisham

What is the moral of this story?  Never give up on your dream and if you have limited time, do not worry as all it takes is one page a day and if it takes a couple of years for the novel to be written, don’t worry as that one novel could be all it takes to become a bestselling author, always on demand for writing more books for your fans.
