Writers are people who create things. We can literally create books, articles, speeches, podcasts, or stories out of thin air. It’s what we do.

Why, then, do so many writers look at the world in “glass half empty” sort of way? A writer can be the most creative person in the world when it comes to words, yet be the biggest pessimist you have ever seen.

If you see the world as a glass half empty, where something is always wrong, something is always missing, or someone is always keeping you from what you want, realize you can always fill the glass.

Expect good things. Know you can change reality. You can always fill the glass. You’re a writer, after all! Change is what you do. Use your words and your creativity to create the world as you want to see.
