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.

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.

✓ 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.

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.

Writing is bumpy!
Writing is messy!
Writing is a process!
You must decide how bad you want to complete what you start! A draft is a draft is a draft!
Write 10 minutes a day or 10 pages a day—trust the process!

For the greater part of your creativity, take stock in what you must do, and must do next.
It begins and ends with writing.
With Love & Ink,

Writing is incredible!
It is needed and necessary.
Will you do your part today?

Toni Morrison said, “The story you want to write, you may have to write it.”
There is no time like now (right before the pace of the holidays!) to imagine the story you want AND write it.
Where is your story? Will you find it?

When a writer believes in themselves, their work becomes more believable.
Read it again.
Do it again.

Today, I must ask you this.
What if you tried? What if you really TRIED?
And when you do, what will it mean?
Only you can answer that…truthfully.
