Writing every day, even on those crappy days, teaches not to fear the blank page.

If you seriously show up, the words eventually do, too.

Perfection is the enemy of authenticity, and you’ll lose the magic if you obsess over every comma.

Nothing kills creativity faster than expecting greatness straight out of the gate.

All the writing “rules” in the world don’t matter if they make your writing sound stiff.

Some rules are good, but breaking them is often better.

Folktales & legends aren’t just for bedtime stories...they’re raw material to begin your world-building!

A good niche is like a house: it’s where people know where to find you, and it gives them a reason to keep coming back.

Call to action doesn’t have to be a hard sell; it can be as casual as “share this if it made you smile.”

Some feedback feels like a sucker punch.

It’s the internet; people don’t always have a “please” and “thank you” handy.

You’re the architect of the emotional landscape your readers will navigate, you can shape it in any way you please.

Ideas are limitless if you’re willing to shape them into something that reflects the mucky, colorful, real world we’re all living in.

Simplicity is your best friend. Complex ideas don’t always need complex words.

The best stories don’t end with the last sentence you type.

The ‘real’ ending is in the way your reader reflects on what they just read.

Creating a unique writing style isn’t about following rules; it’s about breaking the ones that don’t serve you.

World doesn’t need another copy of anyone else...it needs ‘you’, with all your messy, chaotic, brilliant thoughts.
The real treasure is the voice you’re honing, perspective you’re shaping, & story only you can tell.

I’m a big fan of using humor to lighten up a heavy subject. It’s like sneaking vegetables into a kid’s smoothie.

Humor makes heavy topics more digestible.

Ever notice how the best comedians can tackle the darkest stuff and make you laugh, think, and feel all at once?

When building a fictional world, don't try to create some far-off utopia or dystopia.

Blend real struggles and turn them into something readers might recognize.

Write it down like it’s urgent, even if it’s just a wisp of an idea.

This ritual of grabbing onto ideas without judging them helps treat every concept like it could go somewhere.

It’s almost funny, in a dark way, how the mighty still tend to topple the same way it is in our history books, hundreds or thousands of years later.

Hubris is undefeated, folks.

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated?

McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on

MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding
