Do the holidays have you stressed? Think of Thanksgiving as your unofficial writer’s workshop…

Make peace with wherever you are in your writing process because there is beauty in it all. Sure, there’s plenty of crappy parts, too, but that’s the balance. The problematic parts make us appreciate the fun parts, and the fun parts give us hope that the problematic parts won’t last. The “now” is all there is, so do your best to embrace it.

“For writers, the question isn’t ‘How do I stay committed when I’m in love with my work?’ The question is, ‘How do I stay committed when I temporarily hate it?’ An experienced writer is somebody who knows when the hatred is temporary.” - David Purcell
