Day 7: Care
writing is work
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.

Day 5: Intent
Beyoncé said to focus on your intention. When you write, no one can give you your intention. They can give you prompting, encouragement, hopefully, and criticism… But only you can find your intention. Is precious, it is fragile, and it should be preserved at all costs.

Day 4: Purpose
What is the reason why you write? What do you hope to find, mine, or share with the world? Will you answer these questions, you have found your purpose. Every time you pick up a pen, or sit at your keyboard, you are fulfilling just that.

Day 2: Trust The Process

Day 1: Believe Only
With all that lay in front of you, it is for naught if you don’t believe in yourself. The first thing you must do as a writer is believe you can write.
Even if the world around you said you can’t.

So–get to work, writer.
Get to work.
