Writers Nibs: Dip into the Well

 

So much of what we do as writers involves mental games with ourselves. We try to trick ourselves into writing, trick ourselves into finishing, well, you get the picture. Early on, someone advised me to create an office space for myself, even if it's just a corner somewhere. It does help to have a place to "go to work." (Part of tricking yourself again, you see.) Some authors dress like they are going to work, but for me, that cancels out the "work from home" main benefit: being able to stay in your pajamas all day if you want. But if you still aren't working, then put on that suit and get your tush in the chair. Whatever it takes to get you writing, just do it. :-)

From Wisdom's Font


 

"Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture… Do not build up obstacles in your imagination."

Norman Vincent Peale

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.

Talent will not;

Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent…

Genius will not;

Unrewarded genius is almost a legend…

Education will not;

The world is full of educated derelicts…

Persistence and Perseverance alone are omnipotent.

Never quit in the face of adversity is the attitude that will solve all of your problems.
