“Tapping Into The Writing Warrior Within Me”

By definition a warrior is a brave fighter, someone who is experienced in warfare. They plan and plot strategically for their battles before moving in for the final showdown. Lately, the battle for me has been putting pen to paper. Truth be told, this is a tough battle for me as I tend sometimes to overextend myself in so many ways other than sitting down and writing.

Yes, I can see several of my friends and fellow writers nodding their heads saying “Get it together and get your books done.” And to them I say, “I hear you.” So, going forward I’ll be tapping into the writing warrior within me by planning and plotting my writing schedule for the final showdown: a finished novel or two!
