“If you don’t get out of your comfort zone, how do you know what’s comfortable?” That’s what Peloton running instructor Becs Gentry asked as I pushed myself through a treadmill run I didn’t think I could finish. An hour later, in a juice shop, a bold sign greeted me with another truth: “If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.” Coincidence? Maybe. A wake-up call? Absolutely.

These moments didn’t just speak to my life; they shouted directly at my writing. Writing, like running, has a comfort zone, and it’s easy to stay there. We fall into familiar rhythms — writing styles, favorite topics, predictable goals — and tell ourselves we’re doing enough. But if you’re not a little scared, a little stretched, how do you know what you’re capable of? If you’re waiting for a sign to break free and redefine what’s possible for your writing, this is it.
