One of my awesome crit partners Sara (who's background in military weapons has come in super handy) brought us these postcards from England where she traveled this summer to study Winston Churchill.
I LOVE this thought and it's applications to so many things in life. For example:
Just found out one of my top agents isn't accepting queries for an undetermined amount of time - keep calm and carry on.
Wishing for more writing time and wondering if the WIP is any good - keep calm and carry on.
School and shuttling back and forth to commence in t-minus two days - keep calm and carry on.
No butter to make our delicious (healthy) oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies - keep calm and carry on.
When faced with challenges/problems, we can slow down, not panic, think things through, and most of all, keep going. Don't give up. Keep calm and carry on!
Check out what my other crit partners said about this: Ali Cross, Elana Johnson, Jenn Wilks.

Wonderful mantra for all our busy lives and all of our goal accomplishment stresses. :)
When I was a social studies teacher, I'd get all misty every time I quote Churchill. My fav:
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
Excellent thoughts. I think I am going to steal this picture from you guys to put on my blog and always remind me.
YES! I couldn't agree more! ♥
What a cool postcard! I'm intrigued about her research on Winston Churchill too.
I definitely need to adopt this mantra. Thanks for sharing! So glad I found your blog!
