I thought I’d have a ring or bracelet made with a Latin inscription that reminds me of my goal to “write a thousand words a day.” I have played around with the Google translator and it offers me:
Scribere milia verborum quotidie
It looks rather impressive, doesn’t it? Unfortuately, the ring I have in mind has room for 30 characters, and this is 32. I could go with “write a thousand”
Scribere milia
or even “a thousand words”
Milia verborum
I could skip the amount, and just say “write daily” which is probably the most essential point
Scribere quotidie
Finally, I decided that I could boil it down to a single injunction:
Scribere nunc
Yep. That’s the crucial component of the exercise. Quit goofing around. No more procrastinating. Turn off Facebook. Quick checking out eBay.
Write now.
