Little Things

[image error] Sometimes I get so many ideas popping in my head, so many plans, so many projects and things I want to do, and there's no possible way for me to have it all done RIGHT NOW like I want. I am learning to take things day by day, and that big houses are made with little bricks.

Little things get you there.

Little things like writing every day. Writing that new novel or that short story and editing your old one. Submitting to a few more agents. Writing a blog post and interacting with awesome people on Twitter.

Dusting off that old picture book manuscript and finding more publishers to send it to.
Getting in those 1000 words. Again.
Researching the next agent you're going to send to.
Making a social media spreadsheet.
Getting another 1000 words.
Reading a chapter of that novel on your nightstand, because we all need to replenish our word bank.
Sending the next chapter to your crit group.
Getting in ANOTHER THOUSAND WORDS DANG IT.

It's those things that will get you to the awesome place you envision. I'm counting on it.
