The writing you have to do is because you want to do it!
Writing is one of those things which are both solid and fluid. It can be done at any time, any where, and even with anyone! And for that cause, for that reason, it is the thing by which grants unnamed people immortality or grants hope to other places.
Write because you want to.
Write because you need to.
Write because…you can’t help it.
You can do it. You must.
With Love & Ink,
Dear Writer:
Today, let your confidence be louder than your doubt.
With Love & Ink,
Dear Writer:
If I can give you one thing as this month ends, it is this:
They will talk anyway. So, you do likewise–write anyway.
Your future self will thank you.
With Love & Ink,
Here is your consideration for the day:
Whether you write today, time will pass.
Whether you don’t write today, time will pass.
Write.
With Love & Ink,
The scary thing about writing is what it will require you to do: CHANGE.
It will require that you look at what you want versus what you have, and consider if it can be better, if it is working, and can it be better.
Writers an be stubborn.
Writers lie.
Writers will say what is working when it is not actually working.
Writers require a unique support, like all artists do because of the demands on our creative energies.
Writers also are–adaptive!
The plasticity of writing allows us to look at what isn’t working, what is working and change. But this ‘change’ is what we run from, and need to confront. By confronting it, we allow room for us to look at what we are proud of and want to keep, and examine what we can (and should) do better.
Embrace the process.
Embrace where you are going.
You can do it.
With all that lay in front of you with your writing, do no cheat yourself as you go on your writing journey.
I want you to consider this before you quit:
What would happen if you kept going?
You know what would happen if you stop–what will happen if you kept going?
Food for thought.
With Love & Ink,
Blank pages are adventures that are yet waiting on you and your imagination.
Remember that.
With Love & Ink,
In being gentle with yourself, you will give yourself space to (1) celebrate your wins and (2) stretch your creativity.
As you go forward, you will need these two things to continue to write.
You can do it.
Keep going.
With Love & Ink,
What I want you to remember is three things:
1.) Keep your focus.
2.) Remember what you are writing.
3.) Write it–because you love it.
With Love And Ink,
The fact that you have not given up is demonstrative that you will don’t want to. What does that mean, exactly?
It means that something in you wants this writing–and you are willing to see where it will take you.
As Nikki Giovanni said, “If you love it, it is going to work.”
You can do it.
With Love & Ink,
