Ahh, resolution time! Not quite like Miller time, but not at all unpleasant– at least at this point of the year, when no resolutions have yet been broken. On January 1st we happily make these resolutions, on the assumption that our firm determination will get us everything we want.

Well, I have nothing against firm determination, but I don’t like to see it as the primary driving force behind the accomplishment of writing. It is though, part of something that moves me to the kind of action and “being” (Oh I can be so ridiculously zen sometimes.) that really brings about meaningful texts. What is this something? I want to call “it” things like inspiration, intuition … and/or (forgive me) – GeniusWork! “It” is a process of creating, and so firm determination alone might get you to write, but it will not unearth and release the authentic voice that your writing deserves. Hmmm.

Well, let me just suggest that you think about what jazzes you and use that energy to bring openings, surprises, and authentic boldness into your writing. Letting in the energy of inspiration, the wisdom of intuition, and the trust that comes from believing in your genius writing, will bring you to the kind of texts that are satisfying all the way to the tips of your toes. And this feels good!

So I resolve to feel good this year – while I write on!

P.S. Happy New Year!
