In Writing…
Sunrise by CC Dailly
Expectation and anticipation are the keys to manifesting your desires.
Those just happen to be the two elements that keep readers glued to the pages of your book. Master the art of keeping your readers on the edge of their seats and you will have mastered the skill of expectation and anticipation.
What will happen next to the protagonist? Will he take the chance to change his life or will he just settle and watch the world go by?
The same should be expected in the story of your own life.
Expectation creates a certain excitable feeling. You will feel those wonderful butterflies in your stomach when you live your life with expectation and anticipation. (I’ll leave out the worry and angst that goes along with that for now.)
Writing should be approached with the same feeling of expectation:
Expect to write a great chapter.
Expect that your character and your story will develop in exactly the way it should.
Expect that you will accomplish what you have set out to create.
Expect to write everyday for a few minutes or an hour.
Expect the unexpected.
I expect that you will go out there and seize the world now that you have read this!
(So easy to say; so hard to do.)
