My 9-year-old, pointedly: You’re going to work on your WRITING while we’re at my class today, right?
Me, sheepishly: Um… yeah, I probably should.
9yo: You need to write more. You aren’t writing enough. I miss reading your drafts.
Me: Okay, I promise I’ll write today.
9yo, sternly: Good.
He’s right. After all, I have a 75,000-word goal for 2020, and it’s not going to write itself. And a story is calling my name. Sometimes it calls so softly that I need a kick in the pants to remember that I should be listening.
What are your goals for the year? What creative voice is calling for more of you? What can you do TODAY?
