Don’t apologize for working. Writing is work. Banish the inner and outer critics who tell you that you should be doing something else: exercising, cleaning, cooking, researching, talking on the phone, playing with the dog, looking out the window, or reorganizing your library. Sit down and face the page or the screen without guilt—and with a sense of authority. That’s what Virginia Woolf really meant when she talked about an artist needing a room of one’s own.
