Avigail’s comments from the Write in 2014 group.

A good start to the year! I am working on an essay about confronting the mortality of a partner, and how that fits in to becoming a grown-up (the overarching theme of my current project). I sat down to reread the brief beginning I'd drafted earlier in the week, and was not happy with it. I forced myself to play with it for twenty minutes, and aha, thought of a way to structure it that lends clarity to my ideas while adding to the fullness of the story.

Paul, you're right, it is about internal discipline. As with exercise, one must focus on that fantastic energy you know you will feel after, and persevere!

Thank you everyone for the well-wishes!

I've been looking for a way to motivate myself to finally take my writing more seriously, and I'm so happy to find a community of people who need incentives as badly as myself!

My goal is to dedicate at least 20 minutes every day to working on a series of essays I am writing about the post-college transition. This goal is inspired by "Bird by Bird."
