Progress

If you can inspire and help at least one person in your entire life, then you have truly accomplished a great deal. There is always this constant need to want to impress everyone, but I'm beginning to realize that I may not be able to reach out to every human being in this world. But, as long as I inspire one person to do more with his life, then I have helped make a difference somehow.

I'm still working on the novel. Whether or not I actually do any "writing", I'm always thinking about the plot, the characters, the setting, etc. I've realized that this is also progress, no matter if I'm actually able to get my fingers to start typing or not.

So, I'm going to stop beating myself up if I don't actually write that day. I'm making mental notes throughout the day so it is progressing.
