A writer’s words
bring life
into the reader’s soul
It delivers an injection of
love, joy, wisdom, humor
and adds a dash of inspiration
that helps the reader
open their heart
to the world
Words Have Power
Poetry
Remember Your Feelings
The most memorable things we’ve read,
stay with us
because
we compile our experiences
based on how we felt in the moment
We use that excitement, that longing or that love
to make us know
how important it was
If you want to remember
the most beautiful or most precious thing you read,
don’t try to recall the exact words
Try to recall that feeling you had
then the true essence of the words
will surface
Hidden Strength
The reader’s…
smile,
sorrow,
joy,
disdain,
tears,
laughter,
enlightenment
are all a reflection of
the strength of
the
writer’s words
From Dream To Reality
It’s not bad to dream
but sometimes reality
hits us upside the head
and makes us question ourselves
In that instance,
always follow what the heart desires,
summon all your will and strength
and champion that inner voice
It will help shine
a clear path to your goal
Because dreams can become…
a reality
The Path
Just because you experience failures,
that doesn’t mean
the path to your goals
are closed
You just went off course
You need to
look ahead with optimistic eyes
and go beyond your limits,
as many times as it takes
to find your way back
to your intended path
Be Patient
Writing is a craft
that takes time to learn
and
time to find your inner voice
It takes patience
to grow
You might get weary at times
but stay the course
and
you’ll become strong enough
to stay on path
and
move forward to
reach your dream
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
Don’t Be Afraid To Fail
If you fail,
don’t be afraid to start again
If you never do what you love
because it’s scary
or you’re too afraid to even try,
then your life is unfulfilled
Can you ever be truly happy?
Won’t you have regrets?
So what if you fail,
just get back on your feet
and start again
and maybe, just maybe
you’ll be lucky
the next time around
To Veer Off Path
In the journey of life,
it’s okay
to take the wrong route
every now and then
You might find
some hidden treasure
that can be added
to your memory bank
The Writer’s Blueprint
There are people
that want to be writers
but few are willing to do what it takes
to master the craft
If you’re willing,
what’s the blueprint?
You must be willing
to make an attempt,
to fail,
to learn
You’ll fall at some point,
pause to take on other priorities
or get distracted
If that happens,
just get back on track and try again
Continue with your attempts
until you get it
Continue until you do not
possess self-doubt
Keep getting back up
and
strive to try again
