The color of a writer’s soul
should be one
that is burning bright red
It symbolizes
your intense passion
You swear loyalty to that,
you cherish it
and gain strength from it
and then live
without betraying that
That’s the writer’s codex
Writing will challenge you
physically, mentally, socially and emotionally,
but that’s a good thing
because without it
you won’t discover what you can truly do
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
To be good at writing,
you need to learn to write
everything and anything
Action, Drama, Romance, Horror,
Comedy, Fantasy, Science Fiction,
Non-Fiction and Poetry
If you can do that,
you will be able to truly focus
and
excel at what you truly want to do
Just because you come from nothing, doesn’t mean you can’t do anything.
We can only realize our true potential through adversity.
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
No one is born a writer, you have to put in the effort if you want to become one.
Don’t acknowledge what was, acknowledge of what is to come.
When all else fails, go back to the drawing board and start all over again.
