“To survive, you must tell stories.” –Umberto Eco, The Island of the Day Before
And this doesn’t just go for writers. Let’s take it a step further and say, “Write to thrive!” We want our writing to add to our lives. We don’t want to be tossed all over the place by our writing. We want our writing to take us places that we never thought we’d go. We want it to bring us life and keep us going.
I always regret dragging myself to the computer to write. That never feels good. Even though someday, it has to be done. I like to show up excited to see what new element I can add to help me reconnect with the story.
