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
Selecting the right words
to convey your inner voice
can bring about endless hours
of hard decisions and intense scrutiny
But you need to go through that because
you have to become the writer
that is unique only to you
You don’t have to come up with
eloquent words or grandiose sentences
Choose the words that are direct
There’s beauty in simplicity
Simplification helps the reader
to enjoy the words
without any confusion
Writing occurs spontaneously without instruction
Your mind has no idea
that your heart
is helping you put
the words to paper
Whether it comes out in the form of
a lengthy story,
an eloquent poem,
a single sentence
or a simple word
The heart pushes our choice of words
to the forefront
to help us create
the act of writing prose
a natural phenomenon
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
When you write,
never follow structure
Always act on instinct
and let the words
flow freely through you
When you can
lose yourself in your writing,
you can be free
to be your true self
and let your words
express your hidden voice
A writer’s words can sow the seeds of dreams.
As a writer,
let your words take root
and enable
the minds of your readers
to develop the strength and courage
to strive for
whatever their heart desires
