If you have only an hour to write: write. If you have a day: write. There will be many reasons not to - identify them, be friends with them and say goodbye to them. Then find the reason that makes you write. Be in love with your story, with your characters. This is a relationship that you go to bed with at night. It will have to endure much. Stay committed.
