Every stalled sentence is an obstacle that teaches. When you greet frustration with patience, your craft grows harder to break.

Establishing a support network is essential for nurturing a healthy self-care lifestyle. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people who can relate to your challenges and goals can be incredibly helpful.

Have you tried freewriting?

Set a timer for either five or ten
minutes and once you start the
timer start writing and don't
stop until the alarm goes off.

My main hurdle is cutting non-essential details without losing sight of the story's core theme.
Tricky, but not impossible because it's
"Motivational Monday".

May you crush the week with positive vibes.

Rather than comparing our progress, let's draw inspiration from others' success and push ourselves to new heights.

Enjoy the process.

Find joy in honing your skills. Try not to see it as a chore. Picture writing like building with blocks, piece by piece.

Writing saved me. Writing gave me purpose.

What does writing mean to you?

Setting realistic goals is an important part of being a writer. Taking the time to map out a few (3-4 max for me) short and long term goals will help you stay motivated and on track.
