Live Your Dream
Even if you didn’t finish NaNoWriMo or get to 50,000 words, it doesn’t matter. You attempted it which is more than most people do. Like this quote reminds us, fall but you can always rise again. In fact, falling makes you stronger the next time around.
I love a quote that reminds us to turn something negative into a positive. Only we set the boundary between what’s possible and what’s not. Don’t let not writing your book be part of your impossible.
