One of the things which push writers to say something meaningful is (frankly) we want it to age well! We want to say something which matters!
In order for it to matter to the world, it has to matter to us first.

Day 15: Freedom
The page is one of the last absolute last bastions of expression powered by human thought.
Own your pen.
Possess your page.
Harness your talent.
Write.
-JBHarris
Day 14: Fortune
Good things come to those who wait—AND WORK! Writers must be acquainted with two things:
1.) Waiting for opportunities.
2.) Working while waiting (or making) opportunities.
Lazy writers make decisions.
Successful writers make decisions.
Which one do you want to do?

Day 11: Merit
Writers don’t steal from other writers.
Read it again.

Day 10: Forgiveness
Writing is messy. Writing is crazy-making. Writing can be all-consuming! And there will be times where writing feels impossible! Give yourself grace—you will need it.
-JBHarris
Day 9: Fandoms
You must be your own first fan!
In the ruckus of criticism and doubt you need to have a depth within you to be your first fan!
You must be able to cheer YOU on before anyone else can…or will.

Day 8: Remind
At my lowest point: there was writing.
At my highest point: there was writing.
This craft has been an anchor and a grace.
The story—your story!—needs to be put somewhere.
-JBHarris
Day 7: Care
✓ Writing cultivates passion. It invokes and evokes thought, power, which encourages us to invest more in our talents, abilities and proclivities.
Writers, at our core, care.
-JBHarris
Day 6: Reveal
Some of your best work will come from things you may have to wrestle with, or have wrestled with.
In the possible wreckage of those things, are the most amazing things.
In the ruins…is the remarkable.
