I have been watching the Olympics, as I’m sure many of you have. I see and hear stories about the athletes’ dedication to reach this pointing their lives and it reminds me of the commitment all of us should have to the work God has given us to do. I know writing is not an Olympic sport, but I noticed some similarities. I wish I could unequivocally say yes to all of these questions. NOTE: These questions are designed using a stereotype of an Olympian, which combined the common things discussed.

Olympians practice their sport several hours every day. Can I say the same about my writing?

Olympians learn more about their sport at every opportunity they have. Can I say the same about my writing?

Olympians out performed better than hundreds of others to be accepted as a member of their country’s team. Can I say the same about my writing?

Olympians cheer 100% for their teammates, even when they are competing against each other. Can I say the same about my writing?
