Whatever it is you're struggling with in your writing—it'll pass.

It's the nature of things.

Don't take it too seriously. It's just writing. It's not like someone is standing with a knife at your throat, is it? You'll figure it out.

Eat. Sleep. Make love. Exercise.

Too often our brain drives us nuts in figuring out things in our heads, and thinking and thinking and thinking.

We think too much. It’s a fact.

We treat our bodies like instruments to get us where we want to get.

It’s often polluted. By things. By stuff. By people.

It’s easier to clear out things and stuff than it is people, and yet your first priority is to focus on the people who drag you down and to get rid of them.

Writing is a way to change the world. A single book can do it. Your book can do it.

Yes, it can.

You’ve heard this before. So why am I repeating it for you?

Because every day I meet people who are looking for help—they want to write better, sell their books better, balance life and writing better—and yet when I give them solutions on how to do all those things (based on what I’ve learned over the years and on what I’m doing that works for me), I find that too often they’re closed to learning.
