2017 is the year of my novel. There, I said it. Now I’ve got to get to work. I even bought myself a gift that will be my daily reminder, a new “The Writer Is In” mug. (I got one for my daughter too.) These four words are helping me to keep my writing as a priority even as other distractions (some also important) continue to pull me in other directions. I have learned that this is life, this balancing of to-do’s, wants, needs and desires, so I try to evaluate and adjust my priorities on a regular basis, and one thing I know for sure, is that in 2017…The Writer Is In!

For the perfect start to you writing day, have your coffee in an inspired mug. Find “The Writer Is In” and other inspiring mugs at The Write Life on Etsy!
