Nothing mysterious here anymore. The words no longer have control over what we accomplish. Now, we understand that writing is in itself a catharsis. Writing takes determination. Writing takes writing.
Some authors begin each day by writing in a private writer's journal.
In it, they write about all the good and bad things going on around them. It doesn't matter. They are writing. Often, in this free writing time, the mind relaxes and ideas begin to form. Solutions to dilemmas present themselves.
