The sun is lighting the top branches of the trees outside my window on fire.
The day has begun. Already my dad has left for work, my sister for college. I sit at my desk–where I start every morning–and look out my window as the sunlight spreads its warmth on the chilly ground.
It’s a new week. Its the first new week of fall. A new era. I’ve never been more grateful for a new start. Last week, I spent most of my time in bed with a case of the “nasties”. Half my writing goals got abandoned.
But fresh starts are forgiving. It’s time to start anew.
I have a challenge for you today. Find five minutes to write. Ten minutes is better, thirty is optimum. Just write something. Get some tea, find a quiet place, and spill your soul into words. No matter how insignificant or silly your work feels, just take a few minutes to work on it.
Get a fresh start.
