Self-Discipline Has Gone AWOL

I haven’t written in a minute. Should I blame it on life getting in the way or maybe dig a little deeper? A lack of self-discipline seems to be the culprit. What is missing? The passion, drive, and the excitement of making a piece of paper come alive. Last but not least, the readers. The pure satisfaction of the readers interpretation of what you have written. Yes, just the thought brought a smile to my face. Those are the links that lead to the big picture. A deep respect for your craft is mandatory it equates to self-discipline.

From This Day Forward

A daily schedule would be an excellent idea to improve self-discipline. Starting off with 30 minutes a day of writing. The goal is to live in the moment while writing and enjoy, embrace, and applaud myself for any effort I put into my craft. I am my biggest fan, there is no audience now just me. The biggest hurdle to get over is remaining steadfast even as life gets hectic. No more bowing out because the sun is not shining brightly. I have to write as if my life depends on it. It’s going to be a challenge to say the least with the holidays coming and my daughter moving back home. Writing is one of my first loves. I welcome the fight and the challenge to keep my dreams alive.

Muah, to self-discipline. We are married now. For better or worse, to death due us part.
