Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

You don't need more time, you need fewer distractions.

You don't need motivation, you need self-control.

You don't need more resources, you need resourcefulness.

You don't need luck, you need preparation.

You don't need to be busy, you need to be focused.

You don't need to know everything, you just need to start.

You have everything you need.

Agree?

I can vouch for all of these concepts. One thing to add: a lot of folks assume that having a routine means being boring, but I couldn't disagree more. My mind is focused on everything that's important since my day's activities are more or less identical from day to day, so hopping in to write first thing every morning isn't really a decision; it's automatic.

Make your routine automatic, so you can focus on the things you're passionate about!

Agreed. There is nothing as easy as a habit, so if you're serious about writing you should make it into a habit. I think that for most writers, the hardest thing is to get started. Once writing becomes habitual, it's less difficult to get into your flow.
