Write everyday!
This advice has not been stressed enough. Anything, everything that's worth reflecting on deserves a place in your journal!
All around us we find opportunities to be distracted. Whenever we access the coven of tranquility these distractions could become nuggets.
What do you write about?
How about, 'Time and again I tried to immerse my soul in the velvet caress of silence, but the madness of commotion held my thoughts aloof . . . feet dangling like a man in a noose. Impossible to communicate with my inner self I gave up and yielded in total helplessness to noise. Disconcerted, I became a subdued prisoner or captive of the writer's foremost enemy . . .
The point is anything you jot down in an attempt to perfect your writing style, to keep your muse fired, stretches the capacity of your imaginative genius.
Pick up your pen and write away, or flip open your laptop and stab at the keyboards like you are falling behind schedule 'cause you are if you haven't been at this.
Bestselling novelist and screen writer, Steven Barnes said:
'Any skill you wish to master must be addressed everyday'
Everyday.
As naturally as you consider eating and taking water. Chew on that for a while . . .
Did you know that the reason you remember to nourish your body by feeding it is because you have made a habit of it? It wouldn't be that easy if you had to remind yourself to eat before you could fill your tummy. But you have by persistent practice subjected your body to respond to nutrition by stimuli.
You can train your senses too to surrender to your muse. You can conquer those inner struggles that try to curb your enthusiasm.
The world is waiting for the birthing of a genius. Do not restrict your liberty to express your innermost being, that solitary opportunity to be one with the inner mystery by reducing your destiny to a game of chance.
Write Everyday!
And you must. It's your only ticket to perfection!
