When to Find the Time for Writing

One of the WA community members, Geoff, wrote a WA blog about his experience in google rankings and how to get good rankings.

As Geoff writes: The moral of the story is that the most important key in good ranking is to write our best. This is what we are being taught in Wealthy Affiliate by Kyle and Carson: To do our best. To write our best.

And then Geoff concluded his WA blog with this message:

"Don't ignore your loved ones. Get outside. If you aren't enjoying life,

it'll likely come through in your writing."

I wrote my reply, but realized it is also an important message and with Geoff's permission to write my reply, in my own WA blog.

This was Geoff's reply to my private message asking his permission:

“Absolutely. All in the family. You have my full permission and blessing. Publish away. Thanks for your interest! :)”

This is my reply to Geoff's WA blog about Google and Good Writing:

My youngest son, 24 years, wants to be a writer. But he is going through a tough time right now. He phoned me yesterday, complaining to me that he doesn't have time to write. He wants to be a writer, as well as fulfill his dream he had since he was 13 years old.

I told him not to worry so much, do your best, find the peace that passes all understanding, and that 'now' is not the time (for him) to fret about trying to finding time to write. Why? Because right now, my son does not have time to write.

He has a more important job to do right now – protecting our rights and freedoms.

My son is in the Navy, this is his 5th year and he has one more year to go. He decided that he doesn't want to make the Navy his career, but he is still committed to his 6 years. He has never been so 'down in the dumps' before as he is struggling with shift hours and a high demand position. But he thought boot camp was fun and usually has been in good spirits, these past 5 years. He is a tough guy.

I told him that now is time for him to gather information for his writing. Jot down thoughts, inspirations, and just write short notes to himself. The tough time that he is going through, will make him a better writer. He will have greater depth and understand life in a more profound way and that will reflect in his writing, when he does have time to write.

We do need to enjoy writing and our attitude will show through in our writing.

But if we get through the tough times in our lives, become a stronger and better person, that will also come through in our writing. And through who we are as a person.
