GO WRITE!

UPDATE: A reminder that we have to be willing to sacrifice to write:

If your job starts at 7:10AM and you get up at 5AM… or 4AM in order to knock out some pages… that’s sacrifice.

How much more are we willing to give to learn the craft, be productive, and develop writing habits which can lead to success?

Writing, like ballet, is hard work. It requires sacrifices, both big and small. For that hard-hitting inspiration, today’s Trumbo Award recipient is Caitlin McCarthy!

Onward!
