UGH, this is a phrase I repeat to myself nearly every day. Writing is a true labor of love, whether you write fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or songs. With every word I put down, I hope my work will capture the heart of a reader, somewhere… someday. I was in the corporate world for over two decades and began writing to make a difference. That corporate career was easier in so many ways and a fat paycheck every two weeks was fantastic, but writing is what I was born to do. Whatever it is you’re doing, whether it is work related, a commitment to diet and exercise, or volunteering for a wonderful organization, don’t quit. Think about why you started and press on. You can do it!
