Motivational Monday: Presently Write

Moment by moment  Present in time and mind Don’t look back  Nor project forward  Time never stands still  It keeps moving  So must we or else Risk getting lost for hours, weeks, or years Minute by minute  Beat after beat Get to the heart of what matters. 

Motivational Monday: Keep Writing

Must keep writing My book won’t finish itself The characters would stay stagnant Unless I keep moving the story forward   Must keep editing Line by line Page by page Catching inconsistencies And grammar errors   Must keep focused On the destination While on the journey Believe in the art And the author creating it.
