Don't Die With Your Gifts Still Inside

Lesson Learned & Shared

This year I am taking on the #100dayproject by sharing one lesson a day from my Stop Writing Alone journey. I am looking specifically for the lessons I not only learned myself, but the ones I find myself repeating to writers and creatives in my community over and over again.

Don’t Die With Your Gifts Still Inside

Amber Rae stood on stage, told us her story of losing a loved one and receiving an immense life lesson at a young age: Don't die with your gifts still inside.

I openly wept.

Anyone who has lost a loved one too soon knows how real a threat this is. None of us has a limitless amount of time in this life, if we have a gift to share with the world there is no time to waste. If you do not want to die with your gifts still inside, then you need to get to work... right now.

Every time you are looking for motivation to get your butt in the chair to write, remember this: you don't want to die with your gifts still inside.

How will you share your gift today?

My #100DayProject for 2024

Introducing my #100dayproject for 2024:

To know me is to know I have a teacher soul. At the end of the day, my passion is learning and sharing that learning with anyone willing to listen. So, when it came time to think of a project that I could realistically take on for 100 days straight, it had to come back to that passion.

For the next 100 days, I will share one lesson learned each day that I find myself continually sharing with writers and creatives in my community. There are plenty of things that come up again and again (in fact, I'm kind of betting that there are at least 100 of them!) and it's about time I wrote them all down somewhere. Let's see how far we get with these mini lessons, let's see how many you remember me chanting before, and how many you needed to be reminded of!
