By CJ Lyons and Margie LawsonBuild Your Karma! from CJ
Ever get stuck in a cycle of professional jealousy? Or just the blahs…feeling like it’s never going to “happen” for you?
It’s so easy for us writers to do this. We wonder, why didn’t I…..win that award, get the starred review, get a great deal, snag an agent….the list is endless.
Often this isn’t a reflection of where our writing is–but where we want it to be. And our fears that we may never get there.
Here’s one way to banish those green-eyed goblins so you can get to work on building your own future instead of borrowing someone else’s.
Go to www.hallmark.com or a similar site and find an e-card. They’re free, fast and your spirit will lighten immediately when you send one to brighten someone else’s day. Or send one to yourself (you can even set up a calendar to send them on future dates, so that when you need an extra dose of encouragement, one will pop up in your in box) and give yourself a smile!
Try it!
