Writer’s Journey
Mark’s Writing Motto #7
You can learn a lot of things, but you can’t teach passion.
Mark’s Musings #23
When preparation doesn’t meet performance, then change the routine.
“I Can”
Don’t wish for things to happen,
make it so
Don’t be afraid of the outcome,
have faith
Don’t sell yourself short,
you are worthy
Cast aside all doubt,
challenge yourself
to be great
In doing so,
you open up your world
to infinite possibilities
where dreams become reality
It all starts with you,
your journey begins
when you simply say,
“I can!”
Writing is…
Writing…
is the most purest form
of
self expression
It frees us from our
inhibitions
and
challenges us
It clears our minds
of all rules and regulations
and
dares us to dream
the impossible
So write to your
heart’s content,
perfect your craft
and
live up to your
true potential
One that is
of a
…writer.
Mark’s Writing Motto #4
Respect the grind because it’ll get you to where you were meant to be.
“Why I Love Writing” Haikus
Imagination
Words and emotions inspire

Your mind is elevated
Your words become art
Inner voice wakes up
Time to unleash your passion
True love reflected
My Happy Place
When I write,
I’m in my happy place
A place where I’m returning to
the most purest spot in my soul
Everyday I always return
to the place where the best things are
I may not be the most
talented, creative or eloquent writer
but my passion
to get my words out onto paper
just makes
my love for this craft
stronger
Writing elevates
my mind, body and soul
It takes me to another level
of complete joy
I’m able to go to a place
where I create things
not only with my words
but with
my heart,
my soul,
my true inner voice.
Mark’s Writing Motto #3
Words come to paper easy when you bare your soul.
Mark’s Writing Motto #2
To be a good writer, you must be a keen observer and an active listener.
