Words infused with hope,
inspire the desolate
Words infused with serenity,
bring peace to the restless
Words infused with creativity,
spur imagination
Words infused with hilarity,
fill the air with laughter
Words infused with affirmation,
comforts the lonely and help them to connect
But the greatest words are
the words that are infused with love
because it brings joy and happiness to all
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
While you still have breath in your soul
don’t let the light
of your inner voice
diminish
Keep that spark alive
by creating words of
love, joy and inspiration
Any path you take toward your writing goals,
regardless of the hardships you endure along the way
will bring you joy and instill passion
When you lose the ability to love,
your life has no value
So never lose sight of that trait
because that treasured ability
will help you to experience
all the world’s wonders and joys
It will flow endlessly through you
day after day
And in turn, you’ll be able
to spread warmth and happiness
to those in need.
The sign of a true writer
is one that writes
with true joy
and
without any fear
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
Writing is a process
A process of deliberate practice
A practice of effort over time
and in time, results in creativity
Writing is focused on progression
rather than perfection
Writing is the practice of
finding joy in words and sharing them
Perfection is the end result
The result determines
if joy is achieved
Regardless of results,
there is no stopping point
There may be milestones to celebrate
but,
writing is a lifetime journey
Writing is ultimately a choice
If you choose this path…
honor the process
The reader’s…
smile,
sorrow,
joy,
disdain,
tears,
laughter,
enlightenment
are all a reflection of
the strength of
the
writer’s words
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
