I write with intention. I want my stories to make a difference, give an escape, and be remembered long after the last page is read. To bring a new perspective and open eyes and minds.

Hi Jenn, all of this speaks to me. All of the drafts that are left But not forgotten because life happens.

So many gems in this.

I will return to your tips.

Most of all happy birthday to you tomorrow. Have an exquisite day and keep writing.

Happy I found you today

Thank you

This resonated because I'm revising and am going to try to finish a novel I started decades ago. Great tips, too!

Small, obtainable goals. That's a hard one for me. I start small--but then, they balloon and whoops, the little goals float away.

I do understand this, Robin. I feel like I'm always having to go back and reevaluate. As a writer and human, the big-picture thinking does like to sneak in there. :)

No. 3 gets all the feels from me. While I was working on my journalist novel, a wise friend kept urging me to keep the main thing the main thing. "Remember your why," she said.

I feel like this advice is what gets me through the days lately, too. What works for us in writing so often works for us in life.
