A zero draft
fills up
drop
by
drop
every
drop
matters
Trying to write in a busy world is hard.
That’s a fact.
And yet . . .
if you don’t write your book
it won’t get written.
What can you do?
Take a small step.
The big plans you had when you began
may have fallen apart
and that’s okay.
Can you write down ONE idea today?
Can you add ONE drop to your zero draft?
One drop a day
thirty days in a row
will add up
to thirty thoughts
in thirty days.
That may not seem like much
until you realize
that you have been preparing your mind
to write this story
and that’s where stories grow
–in your imagination.
Any empty mind
can’t write a story.
Every drop matters.
Every thought counts.
Snippet:
Big ideas . . .
. . . they cease to exist
if I fail to follow up
on them with steady
string of small ideas
that make each a reality.
