How to Start Your Writing Habit in Just Ten Minutes
Writing regularly is one of the hardest parts of being a writer. Sure some will argue that developing dynamic plots and realistic characters or marketing the book once it's complete are the hardest part of writing, but the ones who think that have already built their writing habit so their opinion will count down the line.

Back to the Crowd
So, I did it… It has been a strange few days. The weather returned, once again, to the trickery that is winter in Montreal, Canada. You can never tell when Mother Nature will play games with the city, and a snowstorm hit us with a dusting of whiteness and cold that I did not expect to be so heavy. On the radio, as I got in a bit of stretching and breakfast, the radio covered the funeral of one of our more controversial prime ministers, Brian Mulroney (it is still amazing to me how quickly people forget the full story of certain political leaders). Not really the best moment to be stuck inside with grey skies and no work to do (all papers already marked; just grades to post). I went back online to amuse myself and think about another Saturday night with nothing to do.

The Urge to Scribble
Sometimes I enjoy writing, rather than typing on my laptop. There's something immensely satisfying about it, if the mood strikes. You can go slowly, taking great care over each letter.

You can get fancy and make The Capitals really big and ostentatious, the tails on the g's and y's delightfully ridiculous.

Why It's Absolutely Worth It to Write Every Single Day
Writing every day is the most common piece of writing advice out there and it's for good reason. Now this doesn't mean that you are expected to sit at your computer and knock out a minimum of 1,000 words or a chapter in your novel every single day from now until your hands fall off - That would be unrealistic and unattainable.

Brother Love 2. Content Warning.
Rizwan and Awais were two brothers who shared a bond that went beyond blood ties. Growing up in a close-knit Muslim family, they were raised with values of compassion, kindness, and faith. Rizwan, the elder brother, was known for his wisdom and gentle nature, while Awais, the younger one, was a spirited soul with a heart full of dreams.

Turning Negatives Into Positives
Introduction When I am looking for inspiration sometimes I have negative thoughts, like the fact that most people don't see me as a creator in any way, I am just there when stuff needs to be done, and that makes things difficult and the lines from Bob Dylan's "Joey" come back to nail things home:
