Shoveling sand into a box . . . .

Ask yourself . . .

Posted on February 21, 2017 by A.M. Simpson under Inspiration, motivation, Writing, Writing Advice

Stop asking yourself what you want, what you desire, what interests you. Ask yourself instead: What has been given to me? Ask: What do I have to give back? Then give it.
