Three things running can teach us about writing

Out running, spotted a huge rut the driver never saw coming

 

Three things running can teach us about writing:

  1. We do it because we know, undeniably, it helps us
  2. Not everyday is going to be a top performance
  3. While others criticize our art, we wake up, shut up, put up

It matters little to walk somewhere to preach, if not the whole walk is the preaching.

PS. Wonder if the driver plowed through the rut he created, or needed help getting unstuck.

Ever go to bed early with the hopes of exercising before a busy day begins.

Me too.

Last night.

But instead of falling asleep, I re-read the book I finished July 1, 2011.

It took 53 minutes to read.

It took 30 years to write the first sentence.

After this morning’s five daily blog posts are written, a run is in store.

Be good to yourself today.
