“Can I do it?”
“Will I do it?”
“What if no one likes it?”
The answer to these questions are as unique as the authors who pose them. Yet, the fact you are even posing these questions to the wall, to windows, or the people closest to you–means that you have enough in you to temper creativity with apprehension. Every creative person does!
Yet, while some of recoil from the stories in our head that demand to be told, some of us go anyway.
Even if you fail, you can try again!
Even if you think no one will like it, that doesn’t matter. The better question is do you like it?
Your first critic and champion will be and is always you.
Don’t give up before you get started–KEEP GOING!
Go and see what happens!
“Keep the pace, keep your place.”
There is a rhythm to writing! There is a pace to creation!
Once you find it, remember it and hold on to it!
That rhythm is crucial. Remember that.

Give yourself the opportunity to try new things. To experience new things, different things, and trust that you can.
Change is a writer’s best friend!

There’s 3 things to remember, and they all involve focus:
1.) Preparing. The biggest question is, “What is it that I want to do? How will I do it?”
2.) Expecting. Be gentle with yourself. Set reasonable deadlines and keep them. Adjust them if necessary.
3.) Follow through. What you set out to do complete. It is now a priority.

What I wrestle with the most is time. Honestly, I think a lot of writers do. Time to write, when to end, making more to write.
In being a good writer you have to be aware of time, but loosely bound by it.
When you say you will write, write.
Time is your start and end point.
Remember you can do what you determine to do–and if all else fails, try again.
Time is to yours.

There is a justice to writing.
There is a justice to what we do.
Bring the invisible visible and make permanent what may have only been in ink.
Do not give over to doubt–it is a disservice to your talent.

I’ll tell you a secret.
There is time to write if you make it.
But you need to make it.
With Love & Ink,
Writing doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be done.
Are you, will you be, brave enough to do it?
This is the better question.
With Love & Ink,
You have more than you need, and more than you thought you would have. Simply put: it will get no easier than it is right now to write. I understand (completely!) what it means to want things to be smoother to write. But, the key factor of the writing process is–you.
YOU.
You can do all the research: you still need to apply it.
You can have a great writing schedule: you still need to write.
You can have dedicated notebooks: you still need to fill them.
You have all you need to go forward!
So–GO!
