Memorialize Your Accomplishments, Part 3: Write it Down!

It sounds so simple, doesn’t it? Yet, most people I know never pick up pen and paper to record any of the things that happen to them.

I was telling her about a conversation I had with the great Matt Jones at Jones House Creative about writing. I told him, “Your dream is worth your effort.” He in kind, immortalized the line in a screen saver for me to used and remember! It’s so true. Your dream is worth your effort. Worth your time. Don’t let anyone or anything steal it. TV? Not worth it. I laugh at Hollywood award ceremonies. They want me to watch them give awards to each other?
