You are
much better prepared
through your failures
than
through your successes
Learning From Failure
Great Writing
Never Doubt Yourself
Never doubt your purpose
when you’re doing something
that takes you
one step closer to
your dream
A Single Vision
Writing is not a collective form
It’s a single vision
and as a writer,
no one knows what your perception is
except for you
Don’t let anyone influence you
to change your words or style
Everyone sees everything differently
and for that reason alone
you should never compromise
your vision
No Limits
Don’t put a limit on yourself
and your abilities
Learn something new
everyday
It’ll empower you as a writer
The more you are open to learn
and the more you know,
the better you’ll be
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
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
Trust The Process
Trust your writing process,
it requires time and effort
Consistency is mandatory
Discipline and practice makes progression
Regardless of ability, circumstances, excuses or doubt
What you give is what you get
A writer’s inner voice
is designed to express
passion, love, hope, joy, sadness, humor, thought
If a writer works with their
inner voice naturally
The words evoke a heartfelt message
to those in need of it
So trust yourself,
trust your voice
and
trust the process
Mark’s Writing Motto #25
As a writer, make your words explode from your heart.
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
Mark’s Writing Motto #18
To be a great writer, you just need to do the ordinary things better than anyone else.
