So I had a friend, and on their wall, they had a poster with the caption "A year from now you will wish you'd started today.'
It would make me roll my eyes; I'm not sure why and that is not the point of the story.
Maybe five years ago, I started using a website that a lot of Write Club members are on called 750 Words, where you write 750 Words every day.
No one else can see them, and you write what you want, no one cares.
I'm up to nearly 2 million words now, by doing a little bit every day.
I used to cry at the thought of writing 2500 words for University now I've written more words than there are in three copies of War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. (There are 587,287 words in War and Peace.
I'm glad I started this writing habit, I've not published a book, but I have developed the self-confidence to write a lot.
Through write club, I've met authors, freelancers, academics, comedians, marketers, bloggers, developers, event managers, musicians, poets, lawyers and sailors who have helped each other keep going and get unstuck.
We'd love to see you on Thursday and Friday, whether you are getting the courage to start or are sweating because you don't know how to finish your sixth book.
Because September is now!

And of course, a year from now you'll wish you started today!

Why I Am No Longer Talking To People About Blogging
What is this about Bernie? So we are building the Coalescent Podcast Network, and I thought I'd write about how we are doing that as it is going to come with some joy and pain and a lot of the agony we will have I'm sure you will too. I get asked a lot of questions about content marketing every week, at Write Club, Podcast Meet Up, Coworking Assembly and with people who hand over their hard-won money for my advice and expertise. For as long as I can remember I've loved, communication, spreadi
