Five years ago I was writing daily. I had managed to finish a book (never published but I is finished). I was also blogging daily and managing to post thoughts daily.

Then I took on the role of lead pastor at Cornerstone Church. I knew when God brought me to this choice that writing was going to take more of a back seat in my life. I did however think that I would still manage to write daily….That has not happened. Don’t get me wrong I still write A LOT or at least I produce a lot of content. I have managed to keep a daily devotion going for most of those five years Facebook and here at WordPress. And this last year I have managed to increase my content creation quite a bit, but I have not been able to return to the daily writing schedule.

I am learning that there has ton be a new rhythm for writing.

Life has changed. My life rhythm is completely different now. It is better and more consistent in so many ways. That said, I have struggled with black and white thinking about my writing for all these last years. I told myself if I could not write daily then I just had to give it up.

I heard somewhere that good writers have to write every single day or they will never succeed. I struggled with that thought for a long time.

But something has changed in me. I am learning to hold opinions more loosely these days.

I cannot write daily, but I can schedule in a few days when I can write and practice this skill. So that is what I am doing. I am scheduling time in each week when I can sit for an hour or two and do the administration of writing. Its not everyday but it is still time well spent.
