The Power of Commitment

Just like any meaningful relationship, writing requires you to show up consistently with an open heart and mind, offering your time and energy.

Starting Your Writing Journey
So how do you begin this relationship with writing and with yourself? Simply, you write. Develop a writing practice. Call it journaling or Ground Writing?"what matters is the commitment.
Steps to Begin:

- Treat this appointment as sacred.
