#6 follow the spark!💫
your weekly motivational boost to WRITE THAT BOOK!
something i’ve always tried to do is to follow the spark.
it’s hard to explain, and it sounds bananas, but when making life-altering life decisions i’ve always tried to choose what sparkled to my eyes.
not in a shiny, wannabe, mundane way. but rather in an unexpected, instinctual one that makes me think over and over about something, like in my mind it sparkled with secret potential i couldn’t really see but i could feel, tugging at my untold dreams.
that’s what writing feels like to me: it’s not bringing me money, nor fame (yet? one can hope) but it’s bringing all these sparks of joy in my life that ultimately make everything beautiful and magical.
writing is like having fireworks exploding in your mind, filling it with colours and light. and when some inevitably spill out into the real world, they cover everything in a pretty coat of fairy dust to my eyes.
life is better when you write. it becomes more vivid, it becomes more vibrant and exciting.
that’s why you need to keep on writing, and when in doubt, do like me and follow that spark.
joy will follow, i promise.
