Starting this week, begin practicing how you think when you sit down to write. Practice caring about the story, not what other people think about the story. It’s as important as craft.

I'll be hosting a Fearless Writing retreat January 26 - 31 in Portland, OR. Space is limited!I'd love to see you there.Retreat: https://www.portlandretreathouse.com/fearless-writing-with-bill-kenowerBill's website: https://www.willi...

We all have a personal aesthetic that’s unique to us. We can’t control it; we can only obey it. In this way, what we create is not dissimilar to the stuff we love that other people created. 

It can be hard to connect to why we publish aside from money and possibly acclaim. It’s important to remember that if you’re sharing something you love, you’re making the world just a little bit better. 

Writing has taught me, and continues to teach me, that the only thing real in life is love. You can’t manufacture it, you can only see it, find it, notice it, and then obey it.
