As writers, we need to remember to celebrate a small success as well as a big one.
No matter what happens, celebrate. Whether it’s words written, a book sold, or great compliment.
When you’ve typed the end! Pop the Cork! Is a really big event.
But don’t forget the little stepping-stones that moved you forward to the big finale.
Such as…
A new idea appeared in your mind as if by magic!
Good review on Amazon.
500 words written, yay!
10,000 words written… Now you’re cooking with gas.
Or as happened for me this past week an amazing compliment.
A friend gave her young grandson a copy of my book A Reluctant Little Prince for his birthday. And…
He insists someone read the book to him every day! And more important, he recognized himself in the story. I’ve been walking on air.
Guys, I don’t know about you, but a little love goes a long way to keep my creative juices flowing.
Each milestone is worth a pat on the back. Keep writing.
What keeps you writing?
Do you celebrate the little accomplishments as well as the big ones?

These days I celebrate if I even get two pages of edits done. It’s progress!

Right you are. I celebrate even if my one step forward results in two steps back.

Hello Jean. I take a deep breath of gratitude and feel like celebrating when I finish writing an essay or other piece for my blog. And then it’s on to the next story! Take care —
