Motivational Minute with Paige Lavoie #69: Books Don’t #WakeUpLikeThis

Paige Lavoie #wokeuplikethis in Motivational Minute #69 on Writer’s Atelier TV!

When Paige wakes up in the morning, she doesn’t look in the mirror and compare herself to someone who just had their make-up professionally done.

So why do we sometimes compare our first drafts to books that sit on the shelves at Barnes & Noble? Those books have been through professional editing multiple times!

Paige wants to remind us that everyone has to start somewhere. Don’t compare your initial attempts to write the story in your heart to someone else’s final copy. Books don’t “wake up like that.”

Just keep working hard and believing in your stories.

Happy writing!
