If December Feels Heavy, Write Light.
Write softly, slowly, imperfectly.
Write without expectations.
Write to stay connected to the part of you that still believes in possibility.
Not every month is for breakthroughs. Some are for gentle creativity.

Finding Strength in the Struggle. This year has been a challenge for me personally, and yet I am finding ways to be thankful. I feel stronger and more focused. I also feel that these experiences have encouraged me to look toward the future with a clearer sense of purpose.

Writers often forget to celebrate the work that did happen. What did you finish, or even attempt, this year that made you proud? Small wins matter. Share one thing you’re proud of, big or small.

Personality is not a straight line with the word "introvert" on one end and "extrovert" on the other. It is a broad, colorful spectrum with room for nuance, contradictions, and surprises.

Building Characters Readers Care About
One of the most rewarding parts of fiction is creating characters readers truly care about. Ones they remember long after the story ends. Strong characters come from emotional truth, clarity, and humanity.

Gratitude is a mindset. If someone can’t appreciate what they have now, getting more won’t satisfy them. Just finding meaning in the everyday will help us become more thankful. This will elevate us and those around us. Isn’t this something we should strive for all the time?

Albert Einstein’s words demonstrate that he was not only book-smart but also wise. His words are for everyone, but they strike me as particularly appropriate for creative people. By focusing on authenticity, honesty, and contribution, writers transform their work into something lasting.

Gratitude invites us to slow down and notice what’s already good in our lives. It shifts our attention from what we lack to what we have, helping ordinary moments feel meaningful. I am thankful for my life and all the little things: family, friends, pets, freedom, and a space to write.
