Pep Card: Day 21

A few years ago, my car's rearview mirror dropped off the windshield and landed in my lap. Freaked out, I headed over to an auto-parts store where they assured me it happens all the time, and sold me a kit to glue it back in place. But after I got used to the mirror's absence, I really started loving life without it. The view ahead was so much broader than it had been with the mirror blocking it up. I found myself savouring the forward-focused feel of driving without looking behind me all the time. It felt dangerous, yes. But also exciting. While my mirror is safely back in place again, today I recommend you pull the literary equivalent of a rearview mirror-removal.

The finish line is just 10 days ahead. Stomp that foot down on the accelerator and don't look back.

Day 21 flashcard from the No Plot? No Problem! writing kit, the genius brainchild of Chris Baty.

Right.
