Bring it upon yourself
to take in the
sights and sounds
and especially the memories
of the people around you
in order
to formulate the words
that will evoke true emotions
of your prose
Soak It All In
Write Me A Story
Connection
As a writer
my only hope,
my only desire
is to make a connection
with the reader
Let Your Heart Lead The Way
Don’t be afraid
to let your heart
choose your words
because that is the driving force
that will pull your readers
into your world

Mark’s Writing Motto #51
A writer’s words can sow the seeds of dreams.
What It Takes To Be A Writer
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
To Bring Into Reality
The unthinkable
becomes reality
when you choose the right words
to convey them
The Right Path Is…
Any path you take toward your writing goals,
regardless of the hardships you endure along the way
will bring you joy and instill passion
Appreciation
Be appreciative
of those that support and guide you in life,
they are the ones
that help to create
a clear path
for you to move forward
Stay The Course
You can have doubters
telling you, you can’t make it
There are detractors
that may sway you from your path
There are critics
who’ll scrutinize your flaws
And there are many other
that may cause you to have self doubt
and second guess yourself
You may struggle with
overcoming your obstacles
You may be humbled by others
who are more talented
and you’ll tempted
to drop everything and quit
But as long as you persist
and never let go of your dream,
that is truly the best choice
you can make for yourself
into attaining your goal
