I read this quote today and it really resonated. It goes, Do not fear the winds of adversity. Remember, a kite rises against the wind rather than with it. (Unknown)
Like I said, it really resonated. I'm trying to get back to my "roots" and I realized a basic principal. Writers write. Writers write every day. It doesn't have to be good or pithy or even worth saving. It is a discipline. And just like a sport, or a hobby, to get good at it, you have to do it - often. You can't practice Taekwondo once a month and expect that you can break a board.
