Life’s not going to be easy. That’s true for everyone. Accept the fact. Once we accept that life isn’t easy, we can choose to go all in and give it everything we’ve got. We’ll discover what we’re made of. We’ll discover the content of our character. C’mon, go all in, it’s the only life we’ve got.

🤗 A Better Life ~ The Dance of Lovers
When two deeply in love dance, they dance as one, moving to the beat of their hearts and guided by an unseen force only they understand.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ To My Wife
To My Wife
Oscar Wilde
I can write no stately poem
As a prelude to my lay;
From a poet to a poem
I would dare to say.
For if of these fallen petals
One to you seem fair,
Love will waft it till it settles
On your hair.
And when wind and winter harden
All the loveless land,
It will whisper of the garden,
You will understand.And there is nothing left to do
But to kiss once again, and part,
Nay, there is nothing we should rue,
I have my beauty,-you your Art,
Nay, do not start,
One world was not enough for two
Like me and you.
💡 Something to Think About
We all need encouragement. Some days we can do with a little, other days we need heaps and heaps of encouragement. Offer your encouragement to all who pass you by. Don’t worry about them getting ahead of you. So what, if they do. Good for them. Your turn will come. And, when it does, you’ll have a bunch of cheerleaders cheering you on.
✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Creating an Antagonist
“How much more chilling is the bad guy who has a strong argument for his actions, or who even engenders a bit of sympathy? The crosscurrents of emotion this will create in your readers will deepen your thriller in ways that virtually no other technique can accomplish. The trick is not to overdo it—if you stack the deck against your villain, readers will feel manipulated. Start by giving your antagonist just as rich a backstory as your hero. What hopes and dreams did he have? How were they dashed? What life-altering hurt did he suffer? Who betrayed him? How did all of this affect him over the course of his life?”
