We hear about blocks and procrastination all the time. However, there are ten very important reasons most writers never finish their work. They are:
10. Writers have to work a day job to pay the bills.
9. You’d be exhausted too if you had to work ten hours a day.
8. They’ve got writers block. (Curious disease that seems to have no cure, cannot be diagnosed, and which has been known to vanish entirely in an instant.)
7. They censor out all the good ideas because they aren’t good enough.
6. They keep revising and revising and revising and revising and …
5. They spend all their writing time in conferences and classes. (Good idea, to a point)
4. The computer crashed. (Ever heard of backups?)
3. Someone told them they might actually have to market their book themselves. (What a concept!)
2. There just aren’t enough hours in a day!
1. The dog needs a walk.
