2017 is still full of possibility and excitement. Just because we’re already three months in doesn’t mean you’ve wasted this year. I’ve been working on this blog every day since the start of the year, with the exception of a few holidays here and there, I have been posting articles, building connections and networking. Friday I finally reached 50 followers and it feels like all that hard work has paid off.
2017 has so many possibilities. My friend moved across the UK, taking a huge leap of faith and she’s finally feeling like she’s reached a happy point in her life. She’ll be 30 this year (which she will probably hit me for reminding people) and up until recently had been stuck in a rut which goes to show how important is to keep moving forward and strive for that happy ending.
Life is an adventure and we should all start treating it like one. So what if we’re three months into the year? Make an executive decision and put your best foot forward. Have a fresh start, learn to be happy. After all, we only get one try at life and surely it would be better to be happy and have memories than to have wasted it on could haves and missed opportunities?
This year I still plan on publishing my first fiction novel and hope to keep my upward momentum going with my blog until eventually, I feel like I can call myself an official author/blogger. I hope that in sharing my motivations I will, in turn, motivate you, dear reader.
How do you get motivated? What have you done this year that you are proud of? Let me know in the comments below and let’s continue to build this community together by promoting each other in every way we can, in our writing and in our day to day lives.

Yes, I love the positive attitude here! I’m also proud of the work I’ve done on my blog, and in exploring my fiction writing again. (Thanks for the push!) What motivates me? Hm… probably the thrill I get from people reading my writing! Also, when I need to just sit down and do some writing, I put on an acoustic covers playlist on Spotify to get me rolling. 🙂

Awesome! I’ve never been able to listen to music and write, I get too engrossed listening to the songs! I’m glad that we are able to work together, it’s been a good kick up the butt for me too.

Creativity motivates me. I am really having a lot of fun with my blog. A video I saw one day got me thinking, and I decided to try it. I didn’t even plan on writing a blog at all. I originally started this adventure by wanting to get my lyrics out there, as I am a writer, not a singer. My creative writing has taken the reins and I am galloping along, trying not to fall off the horse. What a wild ride it is, and I am exhilirated by it!
