Monday Motivation-Don’t Give Up
My favorite writing tip is never give up so I thought we’d launch 2020 Monday Motivation with this very appropriate quote. Let this guide you through the decade and beyond…..
Monday Motivation-What Do You Want in 2020?
This is our last Monday Motivation for 2019. I recently found this quote and thought it a really powerful one. While it could be applied to any pursuit, use it to ask yourself if writing a book, becoming a freelance writer, or even beginning your journey as an author, is in your plans for 2020?…
Monday Motivation-Fall and Rise
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.
Monday Motivation-What Impossible Really Means
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.
Monday Motivation-Make It Writing
I’m a firm believer in what you think about becomes part of your life. Here’s a quote that sums it up. Use this week and beyond to focus on your writing and see what happens…
Monday Motivation-Resist the Temptation

Go ask them if they were great writers when they started out. I’ve assured them that the answer they’d get is no. In fact, some might…
Monday Motivation-You Are What You Think
I always say you are what you think (not what others think about you). It works for writing too. Do you think you’re not as good as a bestselling author? Feel that you don’t have a chance to ever be published? Can’t handle self-publishing your own book? This week, choose to have a positive state…
Monday Motivation-You Are The Only Limitation
You’ve heard of the saying about being your own worst enemy and I sometimes think that applies to writing. It’s all too easy to get into your own head, hear those voices of self doubt…the ones that tell you you’re not as good as bestselling author A, don’t write prose like author B, and…
Monday Motivation-Make A Reader Happy
This might seem like a strange quote to motivate you to write, but think about this. What if the story you’ve been hesitating to write, putting off finishing, or even too afraid to submit, is one that’s going to bring a smile to someone’s face? A story so beautiful it turns a bad day into…
Monday Motivation-Love What You Do
I always say if something you do isn’t fun or isn’t fun any more, it’s time to call it a day. This quote reminds me that sometimes writing is a struggle but if it’s something you love to do, that struggle eventually fades into nothingness. It’s that X factor that eventually separates the published…
