Give Yourself Permission to Play

I’ve pretty much quit everything that isn’t fun to me, so I consider myself kind of an expert at this…

While I’m 100% a doer, I’m also a huge advocate for following your fun radar.

And that goes for writing too.

If it’s not fun, don’t do it—until you absolutely have to.

That messy middle? That can absolutely wait.

The end of your novel calling your name today? Go there. Why not?!

There will come a time when you will have to link up all the pieces together, smooth out transitions and edit, edit, edit, polish, polish, polish…but that time isn’t now.

For now, as you move toward a finished first draft of your manuscript, follow your fun, take risks, play and dare to make mistakes.

You have my permission.
