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
A Writer’s Work Of Art
Develop your craft
The Write Path
For a writer
to master their craft,
there are no shortcuts
It takes years and years
of endless writing
and countless trials and tribulations
If you start to feel disheartened
and think you are
not up to your standards,
set your heart ablaze
Dig down deep and plow forward
because the flow of time
waits for no one
So catch up to it
and continue to create
and build your distinct voice
for all to see
Mark’s Writing Motto #47
Writing is the craft of progression, not perfection.
It’s A Marathon, Not A Sprint
Writing is a journey
that’s not instant or passive
and
it is not completely result oriented
It’s a process of
delayed gratification
It’s an ongoing routine
that takes consistent training
over months and even years
Though the result is creating
art through your words,
the real reward is
the blueprint to perfecting your craft
and
the person that you become
To show up persistently
and put forth the effort,
it’s what you as a writer does
because that’s your nature
Someone willing
to expose and share
your emotions and heart
through prose
Make Your Reality Happen
Strive to do your best
in all facets of your craft
Never settle for ordinary,
stretch your imagination beyond your horizon
Create words of
love, hope, humor and inspiration
and pour every ounce
of your heart into your art
If you can do this,
success will surely follow
So take action,
make your reality
take the place
of your life long vision
