But once you begin the process, you will love it! You’ll feel energized and who knows, you might even become obsessed with writing. Perhaps you want to share what you’ve learned about life and your beliefs or perhaps you want to design your own characters and create a story to place them in. Either way, when you’ve finished you will be so proud of what you’ve accomplished. So grab this book and your diary or journal, your laptop, a tablet or a few blank sheets of paper. Find a quiet place to work, pour yourself a liquid refreshment, and start to fill in the blanks. You can start over as many times as you want.
