Whether it be
family, friends, loved ones or acquaintances
When someone believes in you,
in your skills,
in your character,
in your potential growth
that is a priceless and immeasurable
It gives you the strength, confidence and passion
to strive to be successful
in all that you do
In turn,
the belief in oneself
becomes a powerful force
in sustaining you to overcome and persevere
in any venture you decide to undertake
The color of a writer’s soul
should be one
that is burning bright red
It symbolizes
your intense passion
You swear loyalty to that,
you cherish it
and gain strength from it
and then live
without betraying that
That’s the writer’s codex
To become a…
writer
You don’t need to be
the most talented,
the most eloquent
or the most creative
You just need to have
the passion,
the unwavering commitment
and heart
That will make you become
the best writer you can be
Without great love,
passion and commitment
writing would just be
a waste of one’s creativity
It all starts with a dream
If you can find one
that you’re truly passionate about
then your journey can begin
To be a writer,
it takes just a willingness to try
To be a good writer,
you must use your mind to create
To be a talented writer,
it takes years of practice
To be an exceptional writer,
you must put in the hard work,
be disciplined and have perseverance
To be an extraordinary writer,
you must take everything mentioned into account
and go above and beyond
But to be the type or writer
you always dreamed of
you just need to put your very heart and soul
into the creation of your words
and you’ll be
a writer who will resonate with the world
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 pour your
every blood, sweat and tears
into your craft of writing,
you have given it
what no other artist
could give it,
a piece of your soul
Once you do that
you can truly call it
a work of art
The sign of a true writer
is one that writes
with true joy
and
without any fear
A dream is just a dream
until you act upon it
So make reckless attempts,
learn from all your
successes and failures
And every once in awhile,
pause to take a moment
to remind yourself
there’s no looking back
The only way to making
your passion
become a reality
is by simply
always taking a step forward
