Keep doing what you love to do every day

I’ve been thinking. It’s the holidays, after all, so that’s a good time for reflection.

I’ve been thinking about how important it is to have an outlet to express oneself. Medium is the place to be for sure.

Where else can you meet wonderful people and have a good time creating content? I’ve searched far and wide and I’ve come up empty time and again.

Yoda has instructed in the Star Wars movies that “there is no try."

That is powerful.

Are you trying to be a content creator? Or are you showing up every day willing to work hard on a new story or at least do some editing on a draft?

My advice is simple: be a writer. Do the work and get it published. Then start all over again on the next story.

Need more advice? Take a look at this photo and see that it is open 24 hours.

Does it close? I don’t know for sure but maybe it doesn’t. Neither should you.

That’s the life of a writer right there. If you’re awake, you should be working on a story or maybe more than one. If you are asleep, then your brain needs to be thinking of new ideas and strategies.

There is no try or hope any more. Go be a writer and create wonderful content today and keep going. You can do it. Never give up on your dream, writer friend.
