I went to a writing conference this weekend, close to home. There were 250 other writers in one place for 3 days and I was in Heaven! I learned so much, but there is one huge take-away I'd like to share.
No matter what your dream or goal, you can't attain it if you don't start. And to start, start with the basics. A story can only be edited after it's written. Weight loss can only happen after a lifestyle change - even a small one at first.
So, to finish --- we must start!

This is a great message that comes at a time where I needed some motivation. Thank you!
Oh you are so right. I get caught int he trap of reading about writing, trying to find places to get published, and looking for inspiration, and then I end up NOT writing. I was at awriting confrence last weekend myself, and I came out all pumped up, and overwhelmed with possibility, and then...stuck. So today, I am devoting myself to organizing my leads, because I can't begin until I'm organized....
Well we all have diversions, and of course, in order to write, we need something to write about--divert we must sometimes, for inspiration.
Happy trails,
If we are writers we must Write!
Yes, let's write Gloria!
And, Farah - I'm so glad!
