Write to Make it

Today during my morning run,  I watched skateboarders and their magic moves.  One yelled back at the others, "Keep going till you don't make it."   As I ran by the fellow about to make his next attempt, I suggested, "Keep going till you make it and if you don't make it, keep going!  He wagged his head in agreement.

That felt like good advice for writers.  Why stop when you feel stuck or hit a dry spell?  Keep writing and writing,  especially when you don't feel like it.  Always stop when you don't want to. Positive conditioning results if you stop while in the flow.  You'll feel eager to return.

You can always write about something.  Moving away from the place where you feel like you're not making it will open new avenues.  If you keep writing, you always will make it past obstacles and frustrations.

Move past self-limitations.  Write to make it; break the speed barrier and then some.

What did you discover today when you kept going?
