“Don’t get it right, get it written.” — James Thurber

🖋 The Thing You Swore You'd Never Do 🖋 🌟 Our main character has built their life around a single promise: "I will never do that one thing." Maybe it's breaking the law, speaking to that person, falling in love, going home, using magic, forgiving someone, or telling a secret. 😮 One day, that promise is broken. 😮 ✅ Write the scene where it happens—then ask yourself: - What made them break it? - Who (or what) was worth the cost? - What kind of person were they before... and who are they becoming now? Let this scene grow. It might hold the heart of your project 😉

“They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream by night.” – Edgar Allan Poe ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ 🤔 You ever catch yourself daydreaming in the middle of the day and then snap out of it, like—“oops, back to reality”? ✨ Poe would tell you not to. Because those little daydreams? That’s where the real creativity lives. 🤩 People who let their minds wander—who think deeply and feel deeply—see things others miss. It’s not about zoning out; it’s about tuning in. So, let's tap into our daydreams as we write today. ✨ ☁️ ✅ Next time your imagination starts to wander, don’t pull it back. Let it take you somewhere new. You may find some good ideas hiding there.😌

One of the best tricks that has helped me build a strong writing habit is setting an easy, approachable daily goal. Take 500 words a day, for example😉. It’s not intimidating—you can usually hit that in under an hour. But here’s the magic: once I'm in front of my laptop and the words are flowing, I'll often go beyond that number without even realizing it. Small goals work because: ✅ They lower resistance—you don’t dread sitting down to write. ✅ They build momentum—writing consistently matters more than big word counts. ✅ They train discipline—showing up every day forms the habit. Before long, the simple act of sitting down and hitting that small target will turn writing into a natural part of your daily rhythm. And that’s how books get finished—one small, consistent step at a time. ✍️✨

Writing is always more fun (and more consistent) when you aren't doing it alone.
