Writing Consistently the EASY Way

By Eamon on February 6, 2024

Writing consistently doesn’t need to be a challenge, you can do it organically and without much friction.

Enter;

HaaBiT StAcKIng!

Habit Stacking?

Habit stacking was first attributed to S.J. Scott in his book Habit Stacking: 97 Small Life Changes That Take Five Minutes or Less but the idea never really took off until James Clear’s book Atomic Habits.

It describes a way to create new habits, focusing on already established habits rather than specific time or place-specific habits.

For example, if you want to practice mindfulness more you pair the habit you want (Practice Mindfulness) with an already established habit you do every day, like brushing your teeth.

You then stack your habits, and you say to yourself after you put your toothbrush away you will say 3 things you’re grateful for.

Easy as that.

It seems so simple but its actually quite powerful.

Consistent Writing and Habit Stacking

Now we get to the good part, the easiest way to create a writing habit.

By far the easiest way to create a habit is by habit stacking, here’s how to apply it to writing.

Today marks day 89 of consistently writing every day, also being the first time I’ve ever purposefully written.

I got here by no mistake.

Around 9 every day I sit in my chair because I wind down from the day by either playing video games or watching movies. I’ve stacked my habit of writing with this habit.

I now have an established habit that after 30 minutes of sitting down and relaxing, I write a post.

This technique has not failed me yet.

Hidden Bonus of this Technique

A hidden bonus I have found from habit stacking is that eventually the habit gets ingrained into the time of its occurence rather than the habit its stacked on.

I started walking everyday about half way through last year, I used habit stacking to stack when I got home from school at 4pm with going for a 30 minute walk.

I still walk everyday at 4pm but am no longer at secondary school.

This means that eventually a stacked habit just becomes a habit you do at a specific time and can then be stacked on itself.

Then you are writing consistently.

In Conclusion . . .

Creating consistency in your writing doesn’t need to be difficult, if you play it smart and schedule your actions you WILL achieve consistency.

Apply habit stacking to your writing and as many other habits you like, let me know how it turns out.

In the meantime, may your words flow like water and your writing stand solid as a rock.

Happy Writing 🙂

This Invisible Force is Controlling Your Writing Success

This Invisible Force is Controlling Your Writing Success

By Eamon on February 6, 2024

Just like most things in life, your writing success is a matter of chance.

The amount of people that enjoy your work and actively follow your writing is due to ALOT of factors you can’t control.

That’s a scary fact to know but understanding this is the first step in playing the probability game for the most out of your writing.

The Chances of You Being Here

How are you not dead?

Seriously.

You were born into this world as a small defenseless creature completely dependent on those around you.

You were this way for several years, you survived all the dangerous things in your environment and are now reading this post in a relatively safe place.

That’s awesome!

But some people aren’t as lucky.

The way you’ve survived is a mixture of chance and decision-making.

By luck, you weren’t born into a world without technology.

By chance, no murderous leader is punishing you for your race.

And it is by the grace of god that you are here right now.

Probability and Chance in Your Writing

Chance and probability are things that inherently are extremely difficult for people to understand.

Daniel Kahgneman’s awesome book Thinking Fast and Slow gives you more information about our statistical biases.

We weren’t evolved to understand compound interest or exponential growth.

Nothing in nature seems to work the same way so it’s hard to conceptualise.

This means that the reason you are in your situation, in your mind, is due to YOUR ACTION when in actuality it’s not that simple.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of immediately blaming yourself completely for how your writing is going.

I am not saying however that you shouldn’t work on yourself, it’s just valuable to understand the forces that are larger than you affecting your life.

Breaking It Down

What is success as a writer?

For me it’s lots of people reading your work, buying it, and sharing it with others.

Easy enough.

The first thing you would work on is writing good work, the logical route.

Another way to approach it is the probability game.

Writing and The Probability Game

This mindset is asking yourself, statistically, how do you increase the probability of an outcome?

To do this you use your goal, broken down into its parts.

For my definition of success (Lots of people buying, reading, and sharing your work.) we can break it down further.

People need to buy your book
People need to read your book
People need to share your book
Lots of people need to do these things

How do you increase your chances of people buying your book?

You make your work visible online and cheap to purchase

How do you get people to read your book?

Set prizes or goals for your readers to achieve.

How do people get to share your work?

They need to enjoy your writing. Work on making your writing enjoyable to read.

How do you get more people to do these things?

Put out more content.

Summary

In the end, it all comes down to your work output.

The more work you put out the more people statistically will like your writing.

When more people like your writing, you will sell more books.

The more books you sell, the more people read your book.

Having more people read your book the more it gets shared.

Creating a feedback loop designed through statistics rather than remaining blind to chance will ensure your success.

Statistically speaking of course.

May luck be on your side and your work gets the recognition it deserves.

Happy writing 🙂

Any Direction is Better Than No Direction

The Natural Way to Boost Creativity and Unlock Ideas

By Eamon on February 3, 2024

Creativity is thought of as this magical force that visits you if you’re lucky, and otherwise, you have no control over how many ideas come to you.

This is simply not true.

There are MANY things you can do to boost your creativity, but none are as good as spending time in nature.

The Creative Process

The biggest problem people have with creativity is the actual ideas step.

It feels like mental constipation as that black line blinks on the vast white page.

It’s awful, you have such an urge to write but don’t know what to write.

This is incredibly frustrating.

However, the more you sit there not having ideas the longer you won’t have ideas.

It’s all about the concept of homeostasis.

Homeostasis is basically the base level of operation that an organism functions at.

Emotions fluctuate, altering your internal state, but you consistently return to a neutral baseline.

The same is true for your creativity.

Staring at the blank page sets it as your baseline; you’re likely to remain in this state.

To foster creativity, maintain a higher baseline of mental stimulation for increased activity and innovative thinking.

There are a few things that induce this level; drugs, alcohol, and social media. You’ll notice that these things are what we know to avoid as there highly addictive and can lead to health problems.

However, they do set the base level of many of your processes at a more active space but are not what we are looking for.

We need something that will flood our brains with happy chemicals, excite our bodies, and get the blood pumping around our bodies.

This one thing is spending some time in nature.

Nature’s Influence on Creativity

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, finding moments of tranquility becomes increasingly challenging.

Immersing in nature transforms us writers, unlocking a cascade of creative inspiration.

The Psychological Benefits of Spending Time in Nature

Stress Reduction and Mental Clarity

Nature has an unparalleled ability to provide respite from the stresses of modern life.

Rustling leaves, pine scent, and gentle sunlight create a therapeutic environment in nature.

This calming effect not only alleviates stress but also clears the mental fog that often clouds our creative thinking.

Embracing nature’s serenity acts as a powerful antidote to anxieties hindering our imaginative processes as writers.

Increased Focus and Attention Span

In a world filled with constant distractions, maintaining focus is a perpetual challenge.

Nature acts as a natural remedy, sharpening our ability to concentrate.

When surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors, writers often find an enhanced attention span, allowing them to delve deeper into their thoughts and ideas.

This heightened focus becomes a valuable asset in the creative journey, enabling writers to weave intricate narratives and explore nuanced themes.

Disconnecting to Reconnect

In our fast-paced, digitally-driven world, the incessant hum of technology and the concrete jungle of urban environments can unwittingly stifle the very creativity we seek as writers.

The ever-present screens, notifications, and the constant buzz of city life create an environment that, while dynamic, can act as a creative straitjacket for writers.

The barrage of information and the demands of the digital age can overwhelm our senses, leaving little room for the quiet introspection necessary for creative thought.

To counteract the stifling effects of the digital age, it becomes imperative for writers to intentionally unplug and seek solace in nature.

The act of disconnecting is not merely a retreat but a strategic maneuver to replenish creative reserves.

By intentionally stepping away from the constant barrage of digital stimuli, you create space for the mind to breathe, to wander, and to dream.

Nature, with its inherent tranquility and unfiltered beauty, provides the backdrop for a rekindling of the creative flame that may have flickered in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

In Conclusion . . .

Nature, in its simplicity and authenticity, emerges as a powerful muse for writers. It offers a canvas where creativity can flourish, unrestricted by the noise of the modern world.

As we conclude, let the idea linger: nature is not just a setting for our stories; it is an active participant, inspiring narratives that resonate with the depth and beauty found in the natural order.

May your words flow like water and your stories stand like mountains.

Happy Writing 🙂

The Best Way to Feel Like Writing

The Best Way to Feel Like Writing

By Eamon on February 3, 2024

The way you feel about writing and your time leading to writing is all the difference in how you end up writing.

I recently finished Ali Abdaal’s new book Feel Good Productivity, in it he talks about productivity through the lens of our attitude towards work.

Find a Job You Love and You’ll Never Work A Day in Your Life

The way we feel about your work determines the likelihood that you’ll repeat the activity.

If every time you sit down to write it’s like pulling teeth out of your head, of course, you won’t want to write.

If you are not motivated to write the way you write isn’t right for you.

To cure this you need to create a different experience when writing.

Add something you enjoy to your writing routine.

Change How You Feel

It’s simple really, change it up.

Move to a new coffee shop to write.

Use cinematic music to get hyped.

Write with others.

If what you’re doing doesn’t work for you, it doesn’t work for you.

It’s as simple as that.

Change how you approach writing and your words will flow effortlessly.

In Conclusion . . .

The way you feel about your writing is the key to always wanting to write.

Make it fun and the words will come.

Happy Writing 🙂

Slow Down! The Joys of Observational Writing

Slow Down! The Joys of Observational Writing

By Eamon on February 1, 2024

Recently I’ve become super interested in the interactions between people in my daily life and how important it is to my writing.

It’s the exchange between old friends in a supermarket line, the way certain people saunter around the town, or what people do when they think they’re alone.

Life imitates art, this is certainly true with writing.

Great writing comes from great observation.

The Art of Slowing Down

Rather annoyingly, the best moments to steal for your writing occur when you are least aware.

It’s easy to turn your brain off when it’s not needed, however, I’ve found it endlessly inspiring to be ‘awake’ as possible.

The best way to slow down your thinking and be in the present is unlocked through a specific type. ofbreathing.

The Physiological Sigh

The physiological sigh is a breathing technique. that is designed in our genes to create calmness and relaxation.

To do this breathing technique you take a deep breath in and before you exhale, at the point before it takes two short inhales, followed by a long exhale.

You’ll notice that your body does this naturally when you are crying.

Doing a few of these sighs in a row creates a deep sense of calm and WILL center you in the present.

Comedy and Observational Writing

The funniest comics I think about are those that see everyday things and explain them in hilarious ways.

A good observational comedian doesn’t even need to be a part of the situation to form an incredibly relatable and funny story.

You too can do this with your writing.

Just like a comedian waits and watches so too shall you. Rather than pull out your phone when you are eating or in line somewhere just take a breath and look at the world around you with fascination.

Stop, Observe, Get Writing

I always carry a pocket notebook with me wherever I go for this exact reason.

Write down things you find interesting, often if you think they are interesting then someone else will.

I’ve been doing this for a few months and have tons of interesting things to write about in my notebook, specifically, I write down lots of things that I think are creepy and interesting.

Now, anytime I need something to write about I just go back through my notebook and get inspired almost instantly.

In Conclusion . . .

Slow down! You’re missing it!

You have an endless reservoir of inspiration and interesting topics at your disposal but are completely blinding yourself of them.

Stop, breathe, observe, and write!

Writing Advice and The Art of War

Writing Advice and The Art of War

By Eamon on January 31, 2024

There is no book quite like the Art of War.

It’s a military strategy book written by a great military leader, Sun Tzu, however curiously enough every single rule that Sun Tzu outlines can be applied to business, relationships, and yes even your life as a writer.

This is because the craft of writing can be interwoven with military strategy.

Unlocking the secrets of The Art of War can empower us as writers with strategic insights to conquer the battlefield of words.

Know Your Terrain

Both the military terrain and the writing landscape are free-for-all battles for survival. Although you can team up you will be up against other competitors.

And this is ok.

Just as you wouldn’t charge headlong into an active warzone with a mop and a colander on your head, you then shouldn’t charge into the writing space without some sort of preparation.

The particular advantage of securing heights and defiles is that your actions cannot then be dictated by the enemy.
Sun Tzu- The Art of War

Knowing your terrain in terms of writing is understanding your genre, audience, literary trends, and expectations as well as what you enjoy writing.

The familiarity of your weapon determines the outcome of your battles.

So spend time scoping the terrain and shining your weapons you never know what the enemy is up to.

All Warfare is Based on Deception

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
Sun Tzu- The Art of War

Just as a general strategically conceals their intentions on the battlefield, writers wield nuance and subtlety to captivate their audience.

It’s the art of saying more with less, hinting rather than stating outright.

The spaces between the lines become fertile ground for readers’ imaginations to sprout, fostering a deeper connection with the narrative.

Deception in writing isn’t about tricking readers; it’s about leading them on a journey of discovery.

Skillful deployment of plot twists, unreliable narrators, and unexpected revelations becomes the arsenal of a writer.

By strategically revealing and concealing information, we shape the reader’s experience, keeping them hooked and hungry for the next revelation.

Unity of Purpose

He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
Sun Tzu- The Art of War

Wielding the pen with intentionality demands a clear and unified vision.

Just as a military leader envisions victory before entering the battlefield, a writer must conceive the overarching essence of their story.

This vision becomes the guiding star, steering the narrative ship through the twists and turns of the storytelling sea.

An incoherent story is a failed story, just like on the battlefield some failures are difficult to come back from.

The plot, characters, and themes should move in synchrony, each element enhancing the others.

Characters become the vessels through which themes are explored, and the plot becomes the canvas upon which characters evolve.

It’s the delicate dance of these components that forges a narrative with resonance and impact.

The Strategic Retreat

The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.
Sun Tzu- The Art of War

Some writers feel shame in editing, feel like they are a failure in some way for needing to edit and revise.

To acknowledge the necessity of revising and editing is to embrace the heart of craftsmanship in writing.

Just as a military commander reassesses their tactics after a skirmish, a writer must scrutinize their words, sentences, and paragraphs.

This acknowledgment is not a concession of failure but a declaration of commitment to the refinement process that transforms a draft into a polished masterpiece.

Sun Tzu’s concept of strategic retreat emphasizes the wisdom of withdrawing temporarily to regroup and emerge stronger.

In writing, this translates to stepping back from your work to gain a fresh perspective.

Much like a military leader assesses the battlefield from a distance, a writer should view their manuscript with a discerning eye after the initial drafting phase.

This strategic retreat allows for a more objective evaluation and sets the stage for effective editing.

In Conclusion . . .

Tzu’s ‘The Art of War,’ lets us gather the spoils of wisdom and embark on our writing journeys with a newfound strategic prowess.

Understanding Terrain: Knowing your genre, audience, and trends lays the foundation for a successful campaign of words.
Deceptive Storytelling: The art of deception in writing, breathes life into narratives. Nuance, subtlety, and well-executed plot twists become the writer’s secret weapons.
Unity of Purpose: Crafting cohesive narratives involves aligning the plot, characters, and themes in a harmonious dance. A unified vision becomes the North Star guiding your literary expedition.
Strategic Retreat of Editing: Acknowledging the necessity of revising and editing is the writer’s tactical retreat. It’s in this phase that manuscripts transform from drafts to refined works of art.

May the echoes of Sun Tzu’s wisdom reverberate through your narratives, infusing them with depth, purpose, and strategic brilliance.

As you navigate the vast expanse of the literary battlefield, remember that the art of writing is not just about crafting words—it’s about wielding them with intention, strategy, and the enduring spirit of a true wordsmith.

Onward, fellow writers, to conquer the realms of creativity and forge tales that endure through time.

Happy Writing 🙂

Inaction is the Worst Action

Inaction is the Worst Action

By Eamon on January 31, 2024

Typically a wrong action is considered the worst action, however, there is one much worse. Inaction.

“Inaction is a slow death” I hear these words leave Joey’s mouth through my YouTube screen and hit me like a ton of bricks.

The YouTube channel Better Ideas first slapped me in the face with this truth.

Inaction IS an action and it’s the WORSE one.

Inaction vs Wrong Action

This theory we are discussing can be applied to anything in your life, but I’m going to use writing as my example.

Choosing to write a novel that is in the wrong genre, terribly written, and just in general a poor decision is a nightmare for writers, but there is one worse that no one is talking about.

Not finishing your book, not even starting your book does nothing, it has neither a net positive nor a net negative on your life or that of others.

Why is this so bad then?

The key to this puzzle is found when we think in terms of progress.

Progress Over Perfection

This term gets thrown around a lot in the content-creating industry but it speaks true.

Any sort of progress in your craft is a net positive.

Creating good writing makes progress.

Writing bad work is making progress.

Inaction, however, no progress.

As odd as it seems backward progress found in bad writing is oftentimes more valuable than positive progress because you learn and change as a person and now know what doesn’t work so you can avoid it.

Progress allows for learning.

Learning allows for growth.

Growth allows for getting closer to your goals.

Anything not helping you is hindering you!

So friend, focus on the quantity of your output, not the quality for doing this is sure to progress you towards your writing dreams.

Goodbye and Happy Writing 🙂

‘I’ll Start Tomorrow’ and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves

‘I’ll Start Tomorrow’ and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves

By Eamon on January 29, 2024

Have you heard or said any of these before?

‘I’ll start tomorrow’

‘There’s not enough time, so I’ll just wait’

‘I’m just not good enough’

Unfortunately, you are human (I hope) and are prone to thinking thoughts.

These thoughts oftentimes become scrambled with the truth.

This is why you can talk yourself into a panic attack or into believing tomorrow will be any different than today.

The Tomorrow Trap

These three lies we tell ourselves;

‘I’ll start tomorrow’
‘There’s not enough time, so I’ll just wait’
‘I’m just not good enough’

Are all ways of having our cake and eating it too.

We get the satisfaction of the idea that the thing you procrastinate is already done, it’s just a matter of time.

The thing is the brain doesn’t deal well with time, it can’t distinguish exactly between a task that has been done and a task that needs to be done.

That’s why we need planners and to-do lists because our brains don’t have that app downloaded.

Therefore, when you tell yourself you’ll start writing your book in the future your brain already thinks it’s done so you won’t act on your intention, because in your brain you’ve already done it.

Avoiding the Trap

Luckily, there are always ways around these things.

Productivity hacks they’re called in the biz.

The thing with putting off your writing has one simple way to avoid this perpetual putting off the machine.

That is just do it.

Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
Simone de Beauvoir

Rather than putting off starting things such as your writing, think what can you do right now?

Can you outline your novel?

Write a paragraph?

Draw a picture of a character?

ANYTHING

Some progress is better than no progress.

You’ll find that the more you take little actions, the more progress you’ll make. In the present!

Progress in the present beats delusion in the future, every day of the week.

Here’s How to ACTUALLY Achieve Your Writing Goals

Here’s How to ACTUALLY Achieve Your Writing Goals

By Eamon on January 28, 2024

Setting writing goals and achievements you want to hit can be an incredibly exciting or daunting experience, but universally, the act of achieving your goals isn’t as easy as you would think.

Fundamentally, we are taught the wrong way of thinking about goals.

The Goal-Setting Lie

We understand goals as a point where you either have something or you don’t.

I am a best-selling author
I have written 4 books
I have a million copies sold

These sorts of goals tend to be so large there is no feasible way of achieving them.

It’s like someone giving you a bow and arrow and pointing to a mountain saying there is a target somewhere up there. Hit it.

Good Luck.

It’s never going to happen.

Maybe you’ll stumble around enough to come across it but without a map showing you where the target is you’re going to end up on the wrong side of the mountain.

Set Systems for Your Goals

A goal means nothing if you don’t have your map.

Setting a system for your goals is like adding an eldritch horror underneath your rubber ducky.

When the tides of life come to flip your duck the in-built structure becomes unshakeable.

To set a system you need only think;

“What would a person who has achieved my goal do every day”

If your goal is to finish four books, you can give yourself a word goal.

The EASY Way to Your Goals

I’ve started going to the gym recently and have been told how little people who start the gym continually go to the gym.

This got me thinking about all I’ve learned and preached about goal setting and consistency.

My goal for going to the gym was to feel confident in my body.

Rather than falling into the trap of hyping myself to go to the gym three days a week, I set my goal to just touch the gym door.

That’s it.

I can touch the door and go home, but the thing is I’ve gone through all the trouble of getting to the door I may as well hit the gym.

This is how to achieve your writing goals.

Distill what you need to do as a successful person to the basics, then make it even more basic.

Creating these atomic goals gets the right amount of momentum whilst also by design doing the larger goal.

For example,

If your goal is to write a book in 6 months, a smaller system is writing 2000 words a day.

Then to achieve this system your atomic goal could be to go to a specific writing space, open your document, and type the word Done.

When you go through all the effort to get your writing space ready you will just write.

In Conclusion . . .

Setting and achieving goals doesn’t need to be difficult or daunting.

Simply set systems and apply atomic goals.

You WILL achieve your writing goals this way.

Level-Up Your Writing With This Artistic Technique

Level-Up Your Writing With This Artistic Technique

By Eamon on January 26, 2024

Nothing is more interesting than something that contradicts itself. Conflict, contrast.

A person who despises obese people but is overweight themselves is an interesting character because there is clearly a conflict between who the character thinks they are and who they actually are.

Just like in painting you have to balance the lightest light with the darkest dark to make a beautiful painting.

If your art is all one color you are greatly limited in your impact on your audience.

The same goes for writing.

Understanding Contrast

Contrast as defined artistically is “the technique of using unlike visual elements in juxtaposition to create meaning and intensify the characteristics of the work.”

Therefore, in writing contrast is using dissimilar worldviews, beliefs, ideologies, or faiths to create a meaningful relationship between two characters.

This is where the term “opposites attract” comes from. The part of the deeply faithful person is missing the carefree atheist attitude that interacting with someone of that caliber fills.

This technique isn’t just limited to characters.

If you want to make something meaningful have more impact you put the meaningful thing in an otherwise meaningless environment.

The conflict between the two styles adds to the meaning.

Implementing Contrast

Crafting a masterful piece of writing involves not only understanding the power of contrast but also knowing how to wield it with finesse. In this section, we’ll delve into practical techniques for implementing it into your writing.

A. Emphasizing the Importance of Balance

The key to using contrast effectively lies in achieving a delicate balance. Just as a skilled painter carefully blends colors on a canvas, writers must avoid the extremes of overusing or underusing this technique.

1. Avoiding Overuse or Underuse of Contrast

While contrast can breathe life into your narrative, an excess of it might overwhelm your readers.

On the flip side, too little contrast can render your prose dull and unremarkable.

Striking the right balance ensures that your writing remains engaging without becoming overly chaotic.

2. Providing Tips on Finding the Right Balance for Different Scenes or Themes

Finding the perfect balance requires a keen understanding of your story’s nuances.

Consider the tone, mood, and atmosphere you want to convey in a particular scene. In moments of intense action, a higher contrast might be suitable to heighten the stakes.

On the other hand, introspective or reflective scenes may benefit from subtler contrasts to evoke a more contemplative mood.

Experiment with contrast levels based on the themes of your narrative.

For example, a mystery novel may thrive on stark contrasts between light and shadow, while a heartwarming family drama might utilize softer, more nuanced differences.

Remember, the goal is not to adhere to a rigid formula but to adapt your approach to suit the unique demands of each scene or theme.

Strive for a dynamic equilibrium that keeps your readers engaged while allowing the narrative to unfold seamlessly.

By emphasizing the importance of balance, you empower yourself to wield contrast as a versatile tool, enriching your writing with depth and resonance.

As you navigate the realms of light and shadow within your prose, you’ll discover the transformative impact that a well-balanced contrast can have on your storytelling prowess.

In Conclusion . . .

By skillfully leveraging contrast, writers can breathe life into their narratives, turning mere words into vivid, captivating worlds.

Whether through emotional tension, descriptive nuances, or character conflicts, contrast serves as the brushstroke that paints a more compelling picture for readers.

In the realm of writing, contrast isn’t just a technique; it’s a catalyst for transformation. It has the power to elevate your prose from the mundane to the extraordinary, from the ordinary to the unforgettable.

As you navigate the interplay of light and shadow in your narratives, remember that contrast isn’t a mere embellishment—it’s a narrative alchemist, turning words into experiences and stories into memories.

In closing, let the transformative power of contrast be your guide.

May your writing be imbued with the rich hues of diversity, and may the contrasts within your prose resonate in the hearts and minds of your readers.

Embrace the journey of artistic exploration, for in the world of writing, contrast is the brush that paints your masterpiece.

Happy Writing 🙂
