Ask a Book Editor: 2020 Is the Year of No Excuses

I don’t know much about numerology but 2020 just feels good, doesn’t it?

As creative people with things to say, I declare 2020 the year we choose to abandon perfection and fear. Instead, let’s focus on creation, expression, trusting instincts, and following our inherent need to write.

No ifs, whens, or buts—just butts in seats.

Let’s challenge ourselves; let’s allow ourselves . . . to dream, to stumble, to pick ourselves up, and DO IT.

And if this sounds personal, it’s because I’m right there with you. I too have projects waiting for some “ideal” time to truly pursue. Well, nothing writes itself. It can be hard. It can be boring. But when you’re in that zone and pursuing your dream, it’s the best feeling in the world.

We got this.
