Why do I love this quote and why do I think it’s motivating? It reminds us that we all have a talent to give to the world. (Maybe even one other human being who’d love to have you share your skill and knowledge with them). I’m guessing for most of you reading this it’s your writing and storytelling…

Monday Motivation-Don’t Let Them Get You Down
I might have told this story before here at TWL, but just in case I didn’t, or you’re new to the site, here goes. I’d been writing for about three or four years and sent a manuscript for a romance story to a new publishing company who had a somewhat famous editor at the…
Monday Motivation-Be Positive
The theme of this week is keeping positive thoughts even after you’ve received a rejection or your story isn’t going as planned. Nothing comes from being negative. Give yourself a pep talk.

That prize being, getting published, seeing your story in print, and sharing your words with the world. Each time you sit down to…
Monday Motivation-Writing is Courageous
It was a rainy Saturday, I was stuck inside thinking about watching a movie as I sketched . Something else caught my eye on Netflix. It was a motivational talk given by Brene Brown called The Call to Courage. I’m sorry to say I’d never heard of her before even though she’s a bestselling author….

Monday Motivation-I Want To Be A Writer
This is one of my favorite quotes that I really believe in. This week, say the words I want to be a writer. Say it out loud, write it someplace you’ll see it every day. Tell your best friend or even share it on social media. Cast it out into the universe, continue to believe…
