Writing will challenge you
physically, mentally, socially and emotionally,
but that’s a good thing
because without it
you won’t discover what you can truly do
Writing Is A Challenge
Emotions
To Be Awaken
Whether it’s
sorrow, joy, anger, despair, humor or concern,
when you can convey
your strongest emotions into words
it’s a power
that will move you forward
as a writer
and your true inner voice
will awaken
Soak It All In
Bring it upon yourself
to take in the
sights and sounds
and especially the memories
of the people around you
in order
to formulate the words
that will evoke true emotions
of your prose
Becoming One
When you can become one
with your emotions
you can incorporate it
with your writing
Once you do that,
writing effectively for your readers
become second nature
Introspection
Once you get
a clear understanding
of your sense of self,
you gain the
strength and ability
to show
your true emotions
and that will
help you to navigate
your way through life
Mark’s Writing Motto #48
Writing will challenge you physically, mentally and emotionally…but that’s all good because growth
comes from these challenges.
Writing Is Your Outlet
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
In A Perfect State
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
Words As Weapons
Our words can be a dangerous weapon,
so we need to always
think before we speak
A fired bullet
can never be put back into a gun
So when your emotions run high,
pause and take a moment
to choose your words carefully
Remember…
your words can either
hurt or help someone
depending upon its intent
Channeling Through Words
As a writer,
we channel our emotions
through our words
that come from our inner voice
and when
we share them with others
it conveys
what our heart is trying to express…
which is our true feelings
