Focus on the Writing Goal

Writing can be an intimidating task. Even seasoned professionals live with the insidious fear that they'll never come up with another adrenalin-pumping idea or create any more remarkable pieces of prose (or poetry). It's so easy to succumb to those doubts. They can leave you teetering on the edge of mental paralysis, which can snowball until you really are frozen in place. And that just sucks the joy of life out of us creative types!

The following quotation aptly states the most effective way to halt the slippery slide into inertia:

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal [!]." ~ Henry Ford

Focus all your attention on the brass ring and ignore the negatives!

~ Linda
