Countdown – Day 3/ 28 Days To Go

December 3, 2005 | Tennis,Writing

Ok, so my son played tennis last night and won. Now, he plays again tonight. The hour drive isn’t so bad. He was very proud of his win, and should be. For several years, he’d go out in the first round and be miserable. Just like writing. Think about entering writing contests, and not even achieving a repeatable score. We keep entering more and danged if our scores don’t keep getting better, which means our writing is improving, and we final in a contest. Ya hear me Sloane! My son keeps working on his serve, improving his footwork, and keep a positive attitude about his overall game, even when some powerhouse beats him. He returns to the court, works with his pro, critique partners in our case, and looks for another tournament to enter. I keep telling him to push, improve his weaknesses, use his strengths, and keep trying. Yep, the same applies to writing. Tomorrow, I’ll post Goal Number Two for 2006.
