10 Little Things for Writers to Savor

 


Today's poster is made up with only four words--Enjoy the little things. We sometimes dwell on the big moments in life and in our writing world. It's easy to pass over the little things that are worth savoring.

Some little things in your writing world to enjoy:

1.  Do you appreciate the fact that you continue to get story ideas? It may be small in comparison to selling a book, but it's still a blessing, and you should be grateful.

2.  What about your ability to sit down and start typing, putting words together that create a story or poem or essay? Not everyone can do that. 

3.  Being able to write using correct spelling and punctuation. It's not a given for all.

4.  Writing with clarity. There are writers who leave readers in a muddle. The ability to let readers see clearly is a worthy trait.

5.  Having a safe, warm place to pursue your writing. Not everyone does.

6.  The ability to write a good opening. Some writers cannot master that.

7.  Having the good sense to know when to cut words, phrases, or even paragraphs. Those who do become stronger writers.

8.  Spending time with other writers. Doing so is very beneficial.

9.  Reading your published work. This brings satisfaction.

10.  The joy you derive from the writing process

Take a bit of time to ponder and enjoy the little things in your writing world.
