Writing a book

Instead of spending my time writing comments on Reddit for the past couple days, I have instead invested my creative energy into outlining and starting to write a book. Just think of the thousands of comments I have left on this site over the past decade, the total word count of which could have rivaled Terry Pratchett's prolific writing career.

I always wanted to be an author since I was a teenager, however I instead directed my efforts towards video games and browsing the web.

My goal is to be a published author by the time I turn 30, so I have 1.25 years to get this done. This morning I am going for a hike and then will spend the rest of my day writing.

Good luck fellow nosurfers. It's Saturday morning — the time to choose to seize the weekend is right now, not Sunday evening after we have squandered it!

I get the sentiment! Sometimes when I‘m typing out a comment I hold for a second and wonder why the heck I‘m wasting my time with this. Your post serves to strengthen the argument even more.
