A writer
who is true to their craft
must
stand by their words
and
own it
Believe
in your heart of hearts
that it was meant
to go out into the world
for all to read
Stay True
The Art of Writing
Mark’s Writing Motto #28
Writers have an innate ability to connect with people through their words.
Happy New Year
As 2020 winds down, my resolution for the new year is to continue to have “HOPE” despite everything that life throws at me. Hope is a powerful motivator, a life-affirming feeling and a force to be reckon with if properly sent out into the world. Darkness cannot exist without light, so keep that spark of hope alive…have faith that everything will turn out all right. Ignite the eternal optimist within you!
“How I Make Decisions” in Six Words
Gut instincts dictate my every path.
Mark’s Writing Motto #27
A writer’s words empower eager minds that want to learn.
I’m Just Me
I’m just a writer. I might not be the best, most talented, creative, highly inspirational or eloquent writer in the world but I’m unique and special in my own quirky way. If I find success along the way, then that’s good. But if not, I’ll continue doing what I love to do and write to my heart’s content and relish in developing my craft.
Mark’s Writing Motto #26
Explore the unknown with your writing so that your skills and instincts may rise to greater heights.
Mark’s Writing Motto #25
As a writer, make your words explode from your heart.
What Keeps Me Going
When life’s obstacles
put my back against the wall,
what keeps me going…
my family
When challenges arise
and I have nowhere to turn,
what keeps me going…
my friends,
When darkness overcomes me
and there’s no hope in sight,
what keeps me going…
my faith
When the road is long and hard
and I feel like quitting,
what keeps me going…
my confidence
Living every day
is another opportunity
for me
to go for everything
I want and dream of
So never give up
When life brings you down
ask yourself,
“What keeps you going?”
Our Prose
Our stories, our poetry,
our quotes, our haikus,
our sonnets, our songs,
our memoirs, our blogs…
the prose we choose
are the crumbs
we as writers
sprinkle all over the world
for hungry minds
to help gather
inspiration
and
perspectives
into the betterment
of their well-being
