Today’s Thought:
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

~ Aristotle

It takes a writer to understand the profound sense loneliness and mission felt by another writer. Few careers or passions guarantee more hours of angst-ridden solitude than writing. The job of pulling pictures from the void and translating them into words on a page for the world to see is daunting. Our reward is connection with the reader and, for some, the financial success that comes from connecting with many readers.

Whether your audience is yourself, a small circle of friends, or the wide world, every writer faces the blank page and must keep himself or herself motivated to keep the momentum going and insights flowing. May these affirmations assist you in achieving just that!

Some are available as mp3 downloads on my website . Others have been posted on Twitter. Many are posted here for the very first time anywhere.

At the end of the day, it’s all about the commitment to do it. Great and successful authors face the same challenge you do. Here are a couple of quotes.

E.B. White said, “”A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die
without putting a word to paper.”

Dan Brown was quoted in a 2009 NPR interview, “I still get up every morning at 4 a.m. I write seven days a week, including Christmas, and I still face a blank page every morning. … My characters don’t really care how many books I’ve sold.”

If you’ve been writing without the results you want, keep writing. Your best writing lies ahead of you and your audience is eagerly waiting!

Follow your bliss! Experience your bliss! Become your bliss!
