“Can you use better language when you talk about your work?” asked a friend when I told her I was having trouble settling down to work.

I’d told her I need to glue myself to my chair, so I can force myself to write. I agree that language doesn’t sound very appealing.

I’ve been resisting writing that article because I was afraid I didn’t collect enough good info in my two interviews. However, when I settled down to re-read my interview, I realized the info was better than I thought. I should remind myself that I’m often pleasantly surprised. Plus, I enjoy teasing the message out of the raw material.

Let’s accentuate the positive!
