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.

No thank you!
I want to see real people on my feed.
I want real humans making good art in this world.
And I want people to really wake up to the unethical and destructive nature of AI.
Please and thank you.

In a world of turmoil, keep writing.
Whether it provides you escape, gives you peace, allows you to cause earthquakes with your thoughts, connects you to others, helps you make sense of chaos, whatever it does for you…keep writing.

In case you didn’t know and needed a bad pun to tell you, you’ve got this.
Whatever ‘this’ is.
Writing a novel.
Querying an agent.
Finishing a dreaded summary.
Cleaning out the utility drawer.
Getting out of bed…
You can do it.

It’s a stand on the blender and scream sort of editing day. That’s how it’s going. 😂

I read a once that taste is a powerful way to trigger habit.
They were right.
When I drink these, my brain immediately settles in to write. The lavender can be swapped for any flavor. My favorite is a toasted marshmallow London fog tea.

Make writing fun.
Find ways to cheer yourself along.
With every new book or project I make a tracker to color in each milestone.
It’s not just big wins but small triumphs that matter. (I get to color in two chapters this morning!)
