[…] https://writersinthestormblog.com/2018/02/5-writing-lessons-from-groundhog-day/ “Peoplemagazine did an article on life lessons from Groundhog Day that inspired me. The movie isn’t just about reliving your days on an endless loop of sameness, it is also chock-full of writing lessons.” Very good advice! […]

I'm going to get Emotion Ninja Warrior printed on a mug. Love it.

I do think about giving up, mainly because I would like to contribute more financially to my family and going back to teaching would allow me to do that. But then, I remember the days I got home and sobbed because teaching is a hard job - all jobs are hard jobs, with things we hate doing and frustrate us - and I take a deep breath, hug my hubby who's my biggest fan and get back to it.

I'll be honest - I needed this post today. Funny story - Last week, I asked myself why I beat myself up to write and market and write and worry about everything and had so little income to show for all the struggle. This week, I found myself yearning to sit down to the computer once more and write. The ideas started to accumulate in my brain and I craved getting them on the page again. Your post settled some of the demons. Thank you.

In reply to Ivan Izo. Hahahahaha! Excellent outlook. Work is a bit of a groundhog day for a lot of us, isn't it?

I think of writing as an escape from the groundhog day of a day job. Every job working for others seems to be the same work every day. Writing takes us away from that. We can change what we write whenever we want. Thanks for the article.
