Monday Motivation-Write!
A simple quote and message for the start of this new week. Don’t just talk about it… Begin your story. Begin your dream.
Monday Motivation-Don’t Rain On My Parade
For those of you who have been following the site for any length of time, you know the following story. Sorry if it’s old news to many of you but this quote made me think about it again. It’s about the editor, who, very early in my writing life, returned a manuscript with a handwritten…
Monday Motivation-Pick Yourself Up
I love this quote because it reminds me no matter how many times we fail at something, there’s an opportunity to try again. Only we stand in the way of doing just that. This week if a rejection comes your way or a story isn’t working out as planned, simply start over.
Monday Motivation-It’s Really Your Choice
This quote says it all. You can simply give up or just go for it. Guess which one I highly recommend? This week let’s go reach out for our dreams….
Monday Motivation-Hang Out With The Right People
Monday Motivation time again. This week I want you to think about your writing peers. Are they helping you write? Helping you get published? Being positive and cheering you on?

Monday Motivation-Perfection Not Required
Let’s kick off the writing year this quote. Lots of writers stumble or give up because they think the first draft has to be perfect. It doesn’t. Sometimes the second draft stinks too but that’s okay, that’s the lesson part of this quote. No one starts out as a bestselling author. Give yourself permission to…
Life Events Can Make You Write
It’s the second week in a row that I’ve had a guest blogger no show. I like to have something posted on the site for you every week day so it’s meant I’ve had to fill in on a moment’s notice. For some writers that sets off a panic attack. Years ago that would…
Monday Motivation-All Work and No Play?
You know the saying all work and no play? That’s true for writing too. I’ve often worked non-stop on a book and felt drained by the time I typed the last word. Writing is supposed to be fun but if you push yourself too hard it becomes more of a chore. That’s something you…
