The Roller Coaster Ride: Lebron Lost Again?

On Friday night, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Lebron James make that three point shot in the very last second of the game. His team won! A miracle. That's all I can say.

But when I checked the score for Sunday, I was dismayed to learn that Lebron and his Cavaliers lost by 10 points. I didn't watch the game so I don't know what happened, but this is a roller coaster of a series for Lebron James and his team.

Is your writing the same way: One day up and one day down? What can you do today to be more consistent with your writing?

You need to think about this. In order for you to get published: whether you're writing a book or an article, you've got to be consistent enough to finish it. If not, you'll never reach your audience. Believe me, if you've got something to say that's relevant and exciting, people will read. However, if you don't remain consistent and write daily, then you'll never know how many people will read what you have to write.

Whatever you do:

• Keep writing
• Get it edited
• Reread it
• Rewrite it
• Let go of fear
• Get published

Just take one step at a time, so you can reduce those ups and downs.

By the way, if the Cavs win the game tonight, they become one step closer to the championship. If they win two more games, then they'll become champions of the East. They just need to get off the roller coaster and be consistent. Sound familiar?

Cramped Up! -- Lebron James Lost

107 to 106, Magic. I can't believe it! For those of you who know about NBA basketball, this one's for you. If you're a writer, but don't know, hold tight. This message will still help you.

While I'm a Spurs fan, I really want to see Lebron James and his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers win the NBA championship this year. He's seems to be a good guy and he's an awesome player. Unfortunately Lebron got cramped up, although he still had a stellar performance. Nevertheless, his performance wasn't good enough to beat the opposing team, the Orlando Magic.

Despite his team's win, the Orlando Magic coach, Stan Van Gundy said of Lebron, "We don't know what to do with him." In other words, although Van Grundy's team won the first game, Lebron is still a force to be reckoned with. But if Lebron is such a good player, then why did his team lose the first game? When asked how his Orlando Magic team won the game, Van Grundy answered this question in one word, "Resilience."

Resilience is the ability to keep fighting regardless of the situation.

As a writer, this is what you need to see your work become published. You can't get cramped up and stop writing. You've got to keep fighting despite writer's block, despite rejection, and despite the changes that life brings. Your fight will eventually defeat your obstacles and you will come out victorious.

My hope for Lebron James is that he will take care of his cramps and win the game tonight!

Go Cavs!
