This blog is inspired by some sound advice gleaned from a publication by the editors of Writer's Digest Books. A particularly telling article recommended aspiring authors to "Get to know their world." To explore their surroundings, the people, the places, the history- and then to write about it. So this is my writer's workshop- hopefully it will improve my writing and observation skills, but the main point is just to get writing.

Motivation Motivates
Everyone has interests. Everyone has dreams. Everyone wishes they could do something or go somewhere or be someone. And for a lot of people, those dreams stay right where they are, waiting for some life-changing event to bring the stars within reach. But it doesn't work that way. The stars do not come to you- you must go to them. Not in one big rocket ship- there are no rocket ships that can carry dreams. You must start with a single motion, step by step climbing the mountain that will lead you to the ladder to the sky. And with each new step your spirits will lift, your resolve will harden. Motivation can only be acquired by first being motive.
