		<p>What&#8217;s your excuse today?</p>
<p>Come on&#8230;I know you&#8217;ve got one. We all have excuses that scaffold our illusions about writing.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>It Doesn&#8217;t Have to Be So Difficult&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>No, Ma&#8217;am.</p>
<p>You know the lines&#8211;&#8220;how do I start&#8221;, &#8220;why would I bother&#8221;, &#8220;who would read it anyway&#8221; and &#8220;I should be doing something else.&#8221;  These and more are the subject of my forthcoming e-book called <em><strong>Getting Started Writing About Your Life</strong></em> (February 29th release to<a href="https://pattimhall.com/shop/"> the pattimhall.com shop</a>).   [To find out more, email us at patti@pattimhall.com.]</p>
<p>You aren&#8217;t the only one&#8230;Let me tell you about Elise.</p>
<p>She emailed me the first of the week and among her other self-berating comments, all leading up to her putting off working on writing some little pieces about her years in high school, she declares:</p>
<p>&#8220;<i>I have no time. It&#8217;s the same problem as always&#8211;no time</i>.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m here to tell you-</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>it doesn&#8217;t have to be this difficult &#8211; </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>it doesn&#8217;t have to take a lot of time</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>it doesn&#8217;t have to be about a book. </strong></p>
<p>When you start writing about your life, it might be a paragraph in response to one of our #InspiringMoment cues like the ones in this post:</p>

I know it feels like a luxury to take time to write; that it is a self-indulgent, time-to-yourself activity that you talk about with a faraway gaze in your eyes, the same way as &#8220;when I win the lottery&#8221; and &#8220;when I&#8217;m sailing around the world in my 72-foot yacht&#8221;&#8230;.it is something you said you MIGHT do someday&#8230;</p>
<p><b style="font-style: italic;">when you retired</b>, <b style="font-style: italic;">when you have a week off</b>, <i><b>after the kids are in school</b></i></p>
<p>But how about just doing a little bit today when you are scanning Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and see one of my prompts?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll celebrate with you..</p>
<p>drop me an email and tell me that a prompt worked for you, and I&#8217;ll invite you to our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/867446026643755/"><strong>PRIVATE Facebook Page</strong></a> where other people I work with on inspiration are posting their responses.<br />
<i><br />

<p>You&#8217;ve got this.</p>

<p>Write. Your. Life.</p>
