Embarking On A Journey

Before you embark
on your journey
as a writer…
ask yourself,
Is this what I’m supposed to do?
Is this what I want to do?
Or…
Is this what I was meant to do?
Knowing the context
of your reason
determines your path
of the writer you’ll be
Once you truly understand
the right words
as it pertains to you,
then…
your journey may begin

When Words Don’t Come Easy

When the well runs dry
and words don’t flow freely,
take a step back…
pause…
reflect…
on all your past work,
relish in the creativity
you created from nothing
and take pride
in knowing you did something
that was brought forth from
your heart,
your soul,
your inner voice
What was once there
is never gone
It just needs time to
rest and recharge
When all is said and done,
you’ll be back
to reinvent yourself
with eloquent words
that will convey your passion
to the world.
