From the Awemanac by Jill Badonsky:
“Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.” — F. D. Roosevelt
While I’m not a huge fan of FDR, and I believe that happiness is really a choice, this rings true. As a writer, there is nothing like completing a story, no satisfaction quite like knowing a piece is done.
Cheryl can testify. She’s written 30,000 words in the last three weeks. She isn’t quite done with her project – far from it. But her accomplishment so far has fueled her enthusiasm like gas fuels a fire. And her creativity is going gangbusters.
So maybe FDR was on to something.
Want some of it? Get busy. Create something. And get happy.
All the best,
Mary
