Perhaps it is because I am trying to do both that I found this quote compelling…

Writing a book, I’ve discovered, has much in common with resolving weight issues. You can proceed from the fear that unless you force yourself to do it, you won’t. Or you can proceed from the belief that you want to do it, and will, but that doing it may sometimes look like not doing it. One way is as difficult as the other; both require perseverance and commitment. The way you choose depends on how you want to live. You can fear yourself or trust yourself.
