~ Let people see the REAL, IMPERFECT, FLAWED, QUIRKY, WEIRD, BEAUTIFUL & MAGICAL person that YOU are through the reflection of your soul revealed in your writing.  As you progress, or digress, your writing will reveal your journey to inspire your new fans. ~

 

 

 

 -  Begin by making consistent, uninterrupted time for writing.  I used to love being the night owl.. writing all night long with coffee nearby and then admiring the breaking dawn (through eyes with toothpicks holding them open), then going to bed for the morning.  Not any more.  I am forced to be a day hiker. =sigh=

 

 

 - Create your space and park a sign - DO NOT DISTURB - clearly printed on one side and discussed with your loved ones.  On the other side should be - GONE FISHING - (or whatever you like) I like to surround myself with mementos and life collected photos that include family, friends, pets, and travels.  I have a window next to my roll top desk that opens up to a twelve foot high deck surrounded by the forest.  I can browse the quiet and the wildlife while I ponder my manuscript.  Whatever gives you peace will work.

 

Alright.  Now, start writing.  Here is your prompt
