The words that flow through you is the fingerprint to your inner voice.
Mark’s Writing Motto #24
Being a writer
Go Straight
When there is darkness
and stagnation
in front of you…
go straight
When life causes
extreme hardships…
go straight
When trouble
overwhelms you…
go straight
When your path
becomes hazy and unclear…
go straight
When obstacles become
too difficult to manage…
go straight
The course you take
must never waver
Always have faith
and never falter
Forge onwards
to greater heights
so that
your dreams and goals
may come to fruition
and then and only then
will everything turn
out better
If you just…
go straight
Be Who You Are
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

Take Time To Reflect
Once in awhile,
as a writer,
take the time
to stop and take a moment
to know that
you connected with someone,
somewhere in this world,
with your words
chosen from
your heart,
mind,
and soul
Never give up
your passion for writing
and
share your story
with the world
because
your voice
needs to be told
“There Is Hope” Haikus
When bad things happen
Always know that there is hope
So never falter
Hope produces faith
Faith builds determination
Obstacles subside
Believe in yourself
Make your journey go forward
Hope springs eternal
Power At Your Fingertips
Lay down the foundation
for positivity
by using words that promote
thought,
creativity,
joy,
love,
and humor
Make your heart become
the voice
of a writer
who wants to make a difference,
who wants to evoke emotion,
who wants to bring change,
who wants to entertain,
who wants to inspire
If you can do that
in your own unique way,
you have truly mastered
the craft of writing.
Every Word Counts
If you want to make people smile,
make every word count
If you want to make people laugh,
make every word count
If you want to entertain people,
make every word count
If you want to inspire others,
make every word count
If you want to make a difference in people’s lives,
make every word count
So be creative,
be daring,
set your soul free
Be the kind of writer
you dreamed of
and
make every word count
Quiet Time
There are times when
your mind goes blank
and
there are no words
Have no fear,
the mind just
needs a chance
to rest and recharge
So let the process
run its course
and
it will be back to normal
Until then
do not worry
the mind is not empty,
it’s just quiet
Be Carefree
Every path we take,
every mistake we encounter,
every success we experience,
adds richness
to our inner voice
So go out into the world,
let go of yourself
and
be vibrant,
feel invincible,
spread love,
it will give meaning
to our words,
it will inspire,
it will connect,
most of all,
it will make us become
a better writer
