We all have those moments yet keeping in mind that writing is about rewriting keeps me from being so hard on myself.

When I am experiencing a writer's block rather than seeing it as being stuck I shift my perspective. Sometimes I find myself looking too closely to the point where I am not giving myself enough room to look at the message from an outsider's perspective.

Don't label your initial thoughts as mistakes!

Many times, we can easily fall into the trap of judging ourselves before we actually get the chance to recognize the value behind our gut.

Everyone is a storyteller and being a writer allows me to connect with the storyteller that we all have inside us.

Writing allows me to really listen and appreciate thoughts that could easily be ignored when we live chaotic lives. Writing removes the filter and pushes me to plunge into my instincts.
