You’d think, after 2020, we’d all have learned not to make predictions, right? Right? Of course, right.
But I learn more slowly than most. So I thought I’d put forth a few predictions for your coming year, if you’re a writer. If you’re not a writer, most of these won’t apply to you. But if you are, I think I can confidently offer these twenty-five predictions:
- You will have bad writing days.
- You will have good writing days.
- You will write a terrible first draft.
- You will doubt your skills.
- You will write something beautiful.
- You will write something horrible.
- Your second draft will be an improvement.
- You will start over. Probably many times.
- You will be inspired.
- You will try something new.
- You will learn.
- You will lose your focus.
- You will recover your focus.
- You will feel uninspired.
- You will get better.
- You will laugh.
- You will cry.
- You will get a new idea.
- You will experience a breakthrough.
- You will write.
- You will rewrite.
