Thought of the Day: It’s Not Your Fault

-
  By J.E. Nickerson   Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to be there for someone, your words just don’t land. Not because you failed. Not because you didn’t care. But because they’re tired.

Even 15-minute focused writing sessions can move your story forward. Small, consistent progress adds up faster than you think. Creating mental space is just as important as finding physical time. If your mind is cluttered with to-do lists and stress, try taking some deep breaths, praying for clarity and listening to peaceful music that can help you to get into a creative flow. For some people putting on a motivational playlist is the best way to remove distractions and focus on the task at hand. Taking a few minutes to journal what you have been going through or still need to accomplish in other areas of your life can also give you peace of mind before you sta...
