Be committed to yourself, your work, and your happiness.

Don’t stress about your to-do’s for the day.  You get done what you do, and what you don’t you do when you can.  Be as organized and methodical as possible, but don’t punish yourself before you’ve even taken the first step in a day.

Happiness can be written… calm can be written…. Composition, character, what we need tell ourselves.  Go outside the immediate scene and moment, inner-conversation.

Take a minute, then take another… zen.  Not even writing, just be.  Quiet, still, new Composition.
