Resharing this from years ago when I rarely told people I was a writer, but I let it slip to the kind barista.
I’m not quite there yet, but saying the words out loud was nice. It’s ok to share your dreams. People will believe in them, too.

Try it out.
By hand, in a favorite color, on any slip of paper available. (Target receipt, napkin, takeout menu, journal page sneakily ripped out.)
And keep it with you as a reminder that words have power. And you are in fact a writer.

Write something.
It’s that easy. Drop the pressure, the judgment, the self-doubt, the larger than life expectations, the comparison shopping to others.
Write something. Take a day off from all the noise. Feel the joy of words on the page.

My favorite quote about writing.
New stories are like first dates, first discoveries, first expeditions, first moments of waking up.
And we get to experience them whenever we please, as often as we please. It’s a pretty good gig.

Cheers to all the weekend warriors wrapping up full-time jobs today to head into the weekend writing.
Writing isn’t a hobby. It’s a passion and profession. It’s dedication and drive.
So raise your mug, glass, or cup and kick butt this weekend.

Is there anything more fun than when a plot twist basically writes itself?
Especially when it’s a good one. I hope your Monday is filled with all the excellent twists and turns.

Haven’t decided if this is a help or hindrance, but it’s pretty adorable.
