Hey writer friend,

Physical exercise is an irreplaceable part of a healthy lifestyle. For most people — myself included — waking up early to exercise is the last thing I want to do. I need to pump myself up with words of affirmation.

In the same way, your writing routine requires daily exercise, and if you’re like me, the blank page is daunting and intimidating. You can get over this fear by reciting simple phrases and taking the truths to heart.

  • I am a capable writer.
  • I have a story that needs to be heard.
  • I created characters that deserve to be fleshed out.
  • I crave stories on a daily basis, and I have an eye for a compelling story.
  • I may write a crummy first draft, but I have it in me to turn it into a phenomenal final draft.
  • I can learn from others who are more successful than I am.
  • Even though I haven’t been published or produced, it doesn’t mean that I am not a gifted writer.
  • I will build an audience overtime, and it’s okay if that takes longer than I would like it to take.
  • My words matter, and the world will be a better place with them publicly available.

So what does this mean for you? Talk yourself up, then sit down and write. The world needs your story!

Need to chat something through? Let me know! I’ll respond to every email I get.

Happy writing,

Todd
