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.

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.

If you can manage words on the page, you my friend are in your prime. ♥️

A good reminder when things aren’t working in a WIP, it’s important to change tactics. (Good life advice, too.)

We are a four cat family which means at least one is always sitting on my notebook or laptop monitoring my progress.
Haven’t decided if this is a help or hindrance, but it’s pretty adorable.

House editor Luna Bella is disappointed in my morning progress and refuses to make eye contact.
Cats are truly the cruelest editors and largest distractions. How can I write when she’s this adorable?

One chapter away from final edits, and I can happily say this is my favorite manuscript to date. ♥️
And yes, seasonal chapter trackers are a must for motivation. Coloring each chapter as I finish is a concrete feeling of accomplishment.
