Exercise your Point!


"Never give in. Never give in. Never. Never. Never. Never.” – Sir Winston Churchill



We clash with the F word from time to time – Failure. Don't let it send shock waves through you just to see it written. It’s just another F word – a Fact of life. If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not pushing yourself beyond your comfort territory into the terror-itory where breakthroughs occur.

Mistakes teach us to make different choices. Even the uncomfortable consequences will lead us toward our goals. Push on with a smarter approach. Make mistakes and thrive! Resilience keeps writers on task and in process.

It takes more than hard work and good intentions. Avoid a focus on how hard you’re working. A commitment on results becomes part of the writing process.

Reinforcement becomes key to progress. Make certain you have a support system for your writing.

Remember, a pencil has a point and an eraser. Wear down the eraser and also make certain you exercise the point!


Creative Write:  What will you write if you break your pencil's point today?
