“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 forContinue reading “Keep Going”

Gentle
Wow, I had to be gentle with myself today. And the gentleness really won the battle! I just started being gentle almost sarcastically. It felt like sarcasm because I didn’t believe it would really boost my mood. It did! I think it improved my whole day. How did your day start? How’d it finish?
Freedom I’ve Found You
“Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man’s lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one’s self.” -Max Stirner Once I adopted this mindset all of my actions gained more intention. Taking responsibility and developing a healthy amount of disciplinesContinue reading “Freedom I’ve Found You”
Peace
Hermann Hesse: “Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.” There are days when I am in a beautifully balanced place. It feels like peace. Inside, I’m content with what I’m putting out to the world. I am somehow able to remain calm whileContinue reading “Peace”
Writing Check In
The editing process is moving along. I found some work I need to focus on, but it will probably be fixed in one or two writing sessions. I’ve gone through about 35k words, give or take, which is the first two parts. The last part is the screenplay, which I’m not fully satisfied with yet.Continue reading “Writing Check In”
Divergent
The way to loving life is to make it yours. And the keys to making it yours are your values. If you are out of alignment with your own personal values, then you are going to be miserable no matter what you do. Your values are personal to you. They can’t be values that areContinue reading “Divergent”
Life Feels Good
I have had a fantastic Tuesday. It was so good that I feel bad saying it. It feels kind of wrong. Should I be miserable while in the middle of all this change? I mean, my faith has been tested during much darker times, but at the end of the day, I’m just happy toContinue reading “Life Feels Good”
The Choice is Yours
Don’t forget that writing is your craft. You get to choose which part of it works best for you. You get to try out all the formats. You get to choose who you share your craft with and how you do it. It’s not about proving that your craft is good enough. It’s about thrivingContinue reading “The Choice is Yours”
Writing Goals
Do it tired. I’m all about rest and relaxation, but at the end of the day, it’s time to write. Well, for me it is. Some writers prefer to wake up early every day to write. Morning isn’t when my brain is ready to write. Maybe I just tell myself that, but I can sayContinue reading “Writing Goals”
Take Care of Yourself
With the new school year coming back into play, I just wanted to remind you to take care of yourself. If that means going out with friends to decompress, make time for it. If it means staying in with a book and your favorite blanket, silence your phone. There are so many ways to takeContinue reading “Take Care of Yourself”
