Capturing the Moment

Every moment comes and goes only once. Capture them fast the best way you can. Journals, photographs, recordings, videos. If no one reads or sees them, you’ll have them to pass on to loved ones.

Write away, friends!

Life is fleeting, time to catch it.

Fear not what others think, just write.

Who are you writing for? Yourself first.

Please yourself and that’s a good start.

Edit away the rough edges and move on.

Remember Emily.

Remember Dickinson’s 1,700+ poems for discovered by her sister Lavinia after Emily died? She was born to write, and later generations still feel her genius and try to imitate her unorthodox style.

Be your own writer, editor, judge, audience and keep writing. Read the classics! It’s the love of writing and reading classic literature that will nourish your creativity.

Happy New Writing Year 2024! 📚✍️🔔💙
