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
No Limits
Learning
Never Stop Learning
Writing
is an evolving art form,
so never stop learning
The moment you stop
and
think you know all there is to know,
then you should quit
Writing is a craft
that requires constant learning
You learn about yourself,
you learn from other writers
and you learn from life
So stay motivated
and
continue your education
Mark’s Writing Motto #42
The art of writing is a multi-step process. It involves commitment of time, effort in learning and trying, consistency in doing and the resiliency of overcoming.
Mark’s Musings #32
We do things with a lack of judgement sometimes but when we learn from those, it can make an improvement in our lives. All we hope is that the mistakes leave a positive impression rather than a permanent scar.
Mark’s Writing Motto #27
A writer’s words empower eager minds that want to learn.
