From The Bird's Nest

I write quickly, easily and well.

I am eager to get to my desk, knowing that when I get there I will immediately begin to write.

The minute I start writing, the thoughts begin to flow.

Readers are standing by, eager to receive my work.

I write interesting, exciting stories that hold a reader's attention.

I welcome the reader to enjoy my work.

Writing is part of the natural flow of my life.

I see myself in a bookstore, signing copies of my new best-seller.

Editors are happy to get my work. They tell me it is excellent and well written, and they're willing to pay top dollar for it.

I feel free when I write.

I am free to write what I please, in a style that's all my own.

I have more fresh ideas than I know what to do with.

I write with confidence.

I've been asked to do a public reading of my work. I read in a strong, clear voice. The audience loves it and I enjoy every minute of their applause.

I write with the full support of friends and family. Even those who sometimes seem reluctant are, on an inner level, very pleased with what I do.

I am sitting quietly, getting ready to write. I listen to my heart. It tells me what to write. I write in a strong, clear voice.

I thoroughly enjoy being a writer.

Damn, I'm good!
