Butt-In-Chair
A No-Excuses Writing Productivity Guide for Writers Who Struggle to Get Started
By Jennifer Blanchard
With Joe Williams

The art of writing is the art of applying the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair,-- Kingsley Amis

Table of Contents
With the Procrastinating Writers blog growing as quickly as it has been, more and more writers are sitting down and writing every single day. And I think thats awesome because my goal all along has been to help as many writers as possible.
Four years ago, I met Joe Williams and was instantly taken with his song-writing ability. He could listen to any song and make up new lyrics for it on the spot. And Im talking lyrics that made sense and flowed so well they could actually replace the songs current lyrics.
And his talents didnt stop there. He also wrote some of the most original songs Ive ever heard. He sees things in a really fresh way, which is another reason I was attracted to his writing.
As soon as I knew I wanted to put together an eBook, Joe was the first person I turned to for help.
I asked him to help me extend the reach of the advice, motivation and inspiration on the blog and turn it into something that writers could really sink their teeth into (so-to-speak). I needed his fresh take on things.
We wanted to create something that writers could use as a resource for working through their procrastinating behaviors. We wanted to put together a workbook with writing prompts, journal exercises and printable worksheets.
What resulted is this eBook.
As far as I see it there are two types of writers out there: The ones who will work toward what they want and the ones who wont.
This book is for the former.
If youre part of the latter group, I will gladly refund your money because this workbook will do you no good unless you use it.
* A notebook/journal
* A pen/pencil
* A desire to write
* The willingness to commit to yourself
* The willingness to commit to your writing
We created Butt-In-Chair to be a hands-on workbook that you can use to sit down and start writing. Youll find a variety of journal and writing exercises throughout the book, which are meant to get you writing (These sections are marked Sit Down and Write!).
Youll also notice that we use the pronoun I throughout the book. We thought it would be easier to speak as one than to keep trying to show who was talking. Since we both agree whole-heartedly with all the advice in the book, using I made the most sense.
Now at this point in your journey, you may be asking: But Am I Really A Writer?
This is a question that crosses the mind of pretty much every writer at some point in their journey. My response is always this: If you write, youre a writer, period.
I believe there are only three tools you need to be a writer:
* A writing utensil a pen, a pencil, a computer keyboard, a crayon, lipstickanything you can use to write.
* Somewhere for the words to go a computer, a notebook, the back of your handanything you can write on.
* A desire to write This, to me, is by far the most important tool a writer needs. If you dont have a desire to write, youll procrastinate forever. Its the desire that fuels the words. Its the desire that causes you to finally sit down and write. You need that same desire if you want to write a novel.
As long as you have something to write with, something to write on and a desire to put words on the page, you are a writer.
But in order to stay a writer, you must continue to write.
Thats where this eBook comes in.
Dig in and get ready to reach your writing goals
And thanks for reading,
jennifer
When Jennifer first introduced me to Procrastinating Writers, I was immediately happy to help in any way possible. I started out writing guest posts on the blog, then writing a column in the monthly newsletter and now working on this eBook with her.
Over the last two years, helping writers overcome the things that hold them back has become a shared goal between us.
We had three goals for this eBook:
1. Get you writing.
2. Help you make writing a priority in your life.
3. Help you make a habit of writing on a regular basis.
There are so many things that prevent people from even beginning to write, and even more things that can slow you down along the way. This eBook is full of situations and solutions, advice, motivation and inspiration for any writer.
No matter what level of writer you are (beginner, intermediate or advanced), there are tips to help you work out all the kinks in your writing process.
If you truly want to write, but are having trouble in any way, this eBook is for you.
Given the content and the exercises and journal prompts throughout, even the most troubled writer can discover the root of his/her writing problems.
If you follow the guidance in this book and work through it, you will be writing.

My mind tells me to give up, but my heart wont let me,anonymous
Many writers can identify with that quote above. Especially writers whove been rejected a lot, and writers who procrastinate to the point where they wonder why theyre even dreaming anymore.
But all of that is in the past. And the only way its going to keep dictating your future is if you allow it to.
As a writer and a dreamer, youve probably had people make you feel like your writing dreams are impossible. And for a minute you thought, Maybe theyre right. Maybe this is something that will never happen for me.
But then you tell yourself to ignore them , stay positive and keep dreaming.
Sure, its difficult to chase a dream and to feel like no matter what you do or how hard you work, youre never going to get there.
All writers understand this feeling (and actually, all dreamers understand this feeling, too!).
But you have to push through it. You have to keep on trying and, especially, keep on believing.
You have the power to make all your writing dreams come true. You just have to be willing to stand up to those who put you down and to look negativity in the face and say, Im doing it whether you like it or not.
Because there will always be someone around who wants to knock you down. There will always be an editor who hates your work. There will always be a publisher who rejects you.
But if you believe in yourself, and keep on writing and keep on dreaming, eventually, you will get there.
Its not a matter of if, its a matter of when.
But what if the thing thats holding you back isnt society or your friends or your upbringing or the critics or the fact that you have no money or your fifth grade English teacher who told you youd never be a writer?
What if the thing thats holding you back is YOU?
The only limitations we encounter in life are those self-limiting ones we place on ourselves,Anonymous
