Staying positive

Staying positive can be a challenge for anyone, and for a writer it can mean a make or break day for your career. For an author in the middle of a plot emergency, or staring at a tight deadline it can mean the difference between finishing a project or going over, neither of which is a good thing.

There are many ways to keep your attitude from dipping into the negative arena. For me the answer is usually some upbeat music, a good cup of coffee and a 10 minute diversion. If you’re not the musical type, perhaps it’s some really good chocolate or a crisp chardonnay. Whatever the method, if it works for you, work it!

I just read a post by “The Optimist” over at http://ProBlogs.com that covers a different approach to keeping a positive attitude. The writer here is a fan of motivational reading to keep upbeat, specifically works by Napoleon Hill, author of “the Law of Success” and “Think and Grow Rich”. I’ve heard of the second book, but haven’t gone through the first. If it sounds like it could work for you, I recommend giving it a read, or stopping by and checking out all the posts by the Optomist at problogs.com.
