Traveling is a sensory experience for me. Otherwise I could do it virtually through others. Traveling is an adventure that allows me to write about it later. Capture the moment

It's October! What a fun month! So much is changing/transitioning - colors, weather, trees, clothes, foods, holidays, wildlife migration, and daylight. What changes are you going to implement in your writing? It's a GREAT day to set a goal. Just 15 minutes!

It seems the universe is trying to communicate with me via fortune cookies. Last night’s fortune: Your present plans are going to succeed if you stick to them.

That means I gotta write. I’ll start with 15 minutes.

And if you can’t write, think about what you will write!

Mom always said that she got a lot of little things done while procrastinating from the BIG thing. Don’t make writing your BIG thing. You’ll get more done as a little thing.

Just do it! 15 minutes.

THANK YOU!! I am grateful for this group. As a direct result of YOU, I have written unbelievable amounts. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would actually finish stories that I have wanted to write for decades.

Give 15 Minute Sprint a try. You’ll be glad you did!!

Sometimes the bravest thing a writer can do isn’t finishing a book—it’s starting the next one after the first didn’t go as planned. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

I dream of Bob Evans’ deep dish chicken noodles- comfort food at its best!
The gkids do a major eyeroll. Bob Evans is not the “cool” restaurant. To their credit, they are figuring out that Bob Evans has an awesome breakfast!
May you find comfort in your writing today!!

Adventures await! Only you can rescue your hero/heroine. Only you can make “happily ever after” happen.

Capture the moment.

Enjoy the journey! Write!
