Motivation: Sacrifice

"You can only become great at that thing you're willing to sacrifice for." ~Maya Angelou

Comic Relief: I don't need anything... except this...

Humor gives me a brighter attitude, so whenever I throw a pity party, I like to imitate the following scene from The Jerk (1979). "I don't need anything ... except this ... and that's all I need!"

"Block" Buster: Good enough.

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." (Attributed to Voltaire)

I tend to look for the perfect idea, and of course the perfect time to write. The perfect place. The perfect mood. When I fall into that mindset, I don't write.

I'm striving to become a "good enoughist" rather than a perfectionist. Any idea, time, place, and mood is good enough to write.

Writing something, sometime, somewhere, anyway is better than writing nothing at all.

Comic Relief: Make 'Em Laugh

Donald O'Connor sings "Make 'Em Laugh" and brings a smile to my face. I needed that!
