Monday Motivator

A special Monday Motivator for writers: for goodness sakes, go find some people to write with. Find real people, find internet people (most likely a 48-year-old man named Carl masquerading as a 22-year-old emo writer named Claire), find people at random in the phone book: find people you can encourage to write, find people that will encourage you to write.

A little tidbit from my own life: I had the privilege of sitting down with a couple of friends of mine who are writers struggling for structure and discipline, much like yours truly. The discussion was spirited — as they often are when all participants are excited about the topic — and resulted in some good goals being set. Will they be met? I sure hope so. In fact, I need to go work on that now.

My point, though, is that I haven’t been this excited about writing in several months. It’s good to have goals and accountability. If you’d endeavor to be a writer, go find some people who can help!
