Yo, Gabino. Thank you! Gracias! for the knee in the nuts call to writing. I already had 2,500 words down for a pivotal part of my historical revenge WIP when I got your message. Most of it I'll keep and polish. You reinforced what I heard Saturday at CrimeCONN. Author Tom O'Mara was talking about his work with Prison Writes and the young men in Rikers. One day a young inmate said, "I don't feel like writing today, yo." Tom wrote that down. The kid said some other crap. Tom wrote that down, printed it up, brought it back inside the next week and the kid was blown away. "I said that? That's kinda cool, yo." Tom's reply, "If you can talk, you can write." So, yeah, write on, brother!
Thank you for this. And though I already wrote for 4 hours today, I am holding onto this post and plan to read it every morning, and share it too. I can always use this kind of encouragement, and I'm sure many others could, too. Thank you!
Thanks, Gabino, for the eloquent ass-kicking.
Thank you, sir. Did it. Doing it again tomorrow.
This is going on the wall of my office.
Thank you for the much-needed encouragement. And the writing prompts!
Beautiful. Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to read today.
Best words I could have read today. I’m on it!
Thanks for the encouragement to write!
I did! I did write a thing, just before I saw your post! So glad the writing wavelengths are in full operation today.

I needed this so badly today it hurt to read it. Thank you.
You kicked my ass and I thank you.

Yes. You have no idea how much I needed this — and I’m sure many others needed it as well ❤️
Thank you! I'll take all the encouragement I can get.
Pre-ordered your new one and looking forward to it.
House of Bone and Rain was awesome.
