Keep Going

“Quality is not an act, it is a habit.” -Aristotle

I’m low on motivation to work on the book today, but I did it. I added a quick detail that will probably need more work tomorrow. The good thing is, I opened the Word Doc and stayed connected to the story. That’s what works for me. Every single night, something tells me it’s ok to take a break, step away, but then there’s a quiet voice that says, “Keep going. Don’t stop.” Why is habit and discipline the quiet voice? Honestly, giving up isn’t an option for me; it doesn’t really matter which one is louder. What matters to me is finishing, and the end is weird. It feels weird. It’s a lot of pushing myself and getting that flame ignited again. I don’t need passion, but it feels nice to be excited about caring.

How’s your writing?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
