A writer
who is true to their craft
must
stand by their words
and
own it
Believe
in your heart of hearts
that it was meant
to go out into the world
for all to read
Stay True
Gift of writing
Mark’s Writing Motto #28
Writers have an innate ability to connect with people through their words.
I’m Just Me
I’m just a writer. I might not be the best, most talented, creative, highly inspirational or eloquent writer in the world but I’m unique and special in my own quirky way. If I find success along the way, then that’s good. But if not, I’ll continue doing what I love to do and write to my heart’s content and relish in developing my craft.
Mark’s Writing Motto #25
As a writer, make your words explode from your heart.
What Keeps Me Going
When life’s obstacles
put my back against the wall,
what keeps me going…
my family
When challenges arise
and I have nowhere to turn,
what keeps me going…
my friends,
When darkness overcomes me
and there’s no hope in sight,
what keeps me going…
my faith
When the road is long and hard
and I feel like quitting,
what keeps me going…
my confidence
Living every day
is another opportunity
for me
to go for everything
I want and dream of
So never give up
When life brings you down
ask yourself,
“What keeps you going?”
All That You Are
When it comes to your writing,
never play it safe
Push your boundaries
Put pressure on yourself
to be great
Become more creative,
more humorous,
more entertaining,
more informative
Placing expectations on yourself
helps you to
rise to the challenge
and
knock down all obstacles
So live everyday
Live in the moment
If you do,
you will not falter
So dare to be great
cause the time is now
for you to share your words
and
all that you are
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
Weather The Storm
Just remember,
the storm will pass
It’s not going to always to rain
because the sun
will continuously fight
against all odds
to break through the clouds
to keep its light alive
and shine
for all the world to see
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
Mark’s Writing Motto #23
Don’t compare yourself to other writers, it will stifle your inner voice.
