Last week the boys entered a contest for a district t-shirt design.
This week they each brought home flyers about a Halloween story competition.
We've had a few conversations about winning lately, about learning to stand in our own talent while simultaneously propping up others who are talented too. About the irrelevant conviction that everything we do must turn out well, but rather the certainty that what we do makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
The question the boys need to ask themselves might be What do you really love? Writing or winning?
If it’s writing then they’re not really going to lose anything.
Look at me over here, typing for tens of people a week, trying to model that for them.
