You as an artist,
who is always striving to perfect your craft,
may encounter people
who will have harsh critiques about your creation
Do not be disappointed, defensive or feel defeat,
take a step back,
listen carefully to the message
over the tone of their delivery
and you may gain
some useful insight
into making yourself better
When you pour your
every blood, sweat and tears
into your craft of writing,
you have given it
what no other artist
could give it,
a piece of your soul
Once you do that
you can truly call it
a work of art
As a writer,
when you manifest
a fictional world from nothing,
you’re in your element
When you develop
a story that’s intriguing and entertaining,
you’re in your element
When you select words
that evoke emotions from your readers,
you’re in your element
When you listen to your inner voice
and let your imagination run free,
you’re in your element
So let the artist inside you loose
and relish in your creative resourcefulness
If you can do that without fear,
you’re in your element
As a writer,
always live your lives
with great pride
Relish in what
you’ve written
and know that it is
truly a work of art
To be a true writer
you must give of yourself,
put everything aside
take your emotions off the shelf
With your inner voice as your guide
make the words reflect you,
create something special
that’s magical, elegant and true
Your words invoke feelings
from the reader at the start
love, joy, sorrow and humor
are the things that inspire your art
When you share your prose to the world
for all who want to see,
take delight in knowing
that they’ll get an understanding of “me”
So never question your worth
or the passion that you feel,
Writing is your outlet
that enables you to be real
For us as writers,
when we write,
we are in our purest form
Our focus is unwavering
Our emotions are aligned with our hearts
and
our words exude a distinct melodic tone
designed to fill
a specific void
in each individual reader’s soul
The writer’s unabashed words feed the souls in need.
As a writer, you should enjoy in the investment of the words you use to express your
inner voice. It will help you to grow and develop into a true artist.
Your words may
not be the most
eloquent,
emotional,
humorous,
thought-provoking,
informative,
or
inspirational
but that does not mean
you should give up writing
The fact that you’re
making an attempt
to share yourself
despite being judged
makes you a devoted
artist to your craft
with the heart and spirit
of a true writer
So lift someone up
with your words
and
make it stand the test of time
As a writer,
you have the potential
to be great
Your individuality
is an untapped source of
power
Your soul displays
endless creativity,
inner beauty,
and
fragility
Your words
make an impact
on the reader’s
emotions,
which help to spark
love,
joy,
hope
and
inspiration.
