How do you keep writing when your trophy case is bare? Keep doing it for God, his children & the culture; life is not always fair.
Always remember that JOY still lives & breathes the morning after you and said loss meet and that persistence, patience, and preparation have a special way of disarming defeat.
Injustice stand down. It is righteousness's time to shine! Now move out of the way before I give you a swift kick in the behind!

Your opening line, "How do you keep writing when your trophy case is bare?" hits deep. I totally get it, as I'm sure many others do. Whether it's writing or another pursuit. We have felt the sting.

Great motivating advice. I agree with Jason. I honestly don’t know how you haven’t won anything yet. You’re an amazing writer.
Hahaha I love this. Motivational and spicy. Nice work my friend.
Hahahahahaha this both funny and empowering! An empty trophy case can really dampen our spirits but I'm glad we keep going forward. Sending you lots of love and hugs Tiffy ❤️
I had to check your profile and was stunned to see No awards. How? You are a brilliant writer, keep on and do not stop. Your works are one of the reasons I said I will return to read on Vocal periodically.
Yeeessssssss, Keep Doing it for God🥰❤️❤️❤️💯 I Love This And Thanks for The Good Energy!!!!!
Ha ha, that is a kick in the front hind - we all want to fill the cases with all of the trophies...we need all the upliftment that we can get. Some more for me please. Feelings of joy welcome TG.
No one knows better than me about bare trophy cases here. You know that, I know that...if we wrote just for trophies we would have been long gone. Many of us need that swift kick to wake us up. Hey---hugs.
Well done, this felt like a firm but loving push forward. It reminded me that purpose matters more than applause. I needed that reminder today.
Daahlink Tg - Admit it, you do it for you because you SoCan..! Recognition is certainly important. But, those of us who never enter a challenge know that YOU are the BEST judge of you..! And, I'm in awe of you..! jk.bud.in.l.a.
