The beginning.

The beginning is always the hardest part of any new thing.

The beginning signifies decisions, choices, and the yielding of yourself to something else. It is the start of a new thing.

Your new work? Your new idea? You new thought?

That is your new thing…that is your beginning. That is the place where all things are new, stay new, and subject to your control. Decide to not just start–there is not power behind a start, only a direction or location.

A beginning equips you with a plan and a trajectory! It allows you to have the confidence and power to keep going. So, begin.

With Love & Ink,

Encouragement Pages-08/21/2019-Begin The Beginning

The beginning of any work is either going to stress you or satisfy you. There is no in-between. There are times where the writing is forced, uncomfortable and may be hard as German algebra! However, wear some get lost is when you don’t fight through a rough beginning.

Don’t be afraid to challenge, to rework, to reevaluate or even change a point of view for one of your characters! You are the creator and the destroyer of worlds.

Go and do what writing demands.

With Love & Ink,
