It's Over -- Lebron Lost!

Disappointment to say the least. Of course I was doubtful that Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers would win both games during the Eastern Conference championship, but when they lost on Saturday night, it really hit me. Their chances of winning the 2009 NBA championship were over. Just think. All that hard work during these last 8-9 months: down the drain. Now the Lebron and Cleveland Cavaliers have to step into the unknown of the next NBA season and start all over again.

Starting all over again. Writer, you may be in a devastating situation. Your dreams and hopes of being published may have been crushed for whatever reason, but you can start over again. How?

Believe in yourself and your ability.
Write what you know.
Be consistent.
Refuse to allow your situation to stop you from pursuing your dreams.

Just because it feels like you're losing now doesn't mean you can't start again! Just take the first step.

Let's Get It On!

One of my favorite love songs is by the late Marvin Gaye entitled, "Let's Get It On," because it's a song that speaks of action.

Action is important for anyone who wants to move forward in life. It's the only way you'll find success. Not only this, you can't expect anyone to take action for your situation except you.

Writer, it's time for you to take action and pursue your destiny. What's holding you back?
Is it:

• Fear?
• Your current circumstances?
• Pain (emotional or physical)?
• Sickness?
• The death of a loved one?

While these things can sometimes set you back from pursuing your writing dreams, don't let them stop you from doing it. In fact, use your problems to write. Talk about them and find solutions through your writing. It can be therapeutic and you can in turn create a project and help others!

Let's Get It on and write!
