Writing Problems
Don’t Waste Yourself
Without great love,
passion and commitment
writing would just be
a waste of one’s creativity
Trials & Tribulations Of A Writer
Being a writer
means that we need to endure
the hardships
as well as
the triumphs
in order to bring out
the hidden stories within us
to share with others
and make
a true connection
to their souls
Mark’s Musings #51
Time has no constraints on attaining your dreams.
The Starting Point
It all starts with a dream
If you can find one
that you’re truly passionate about
then your journey can begin
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
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
Becoming One
When you can become one
with your emotions
you can incorporate it
with your writing
Once you do that,
writing effectively for your readers
become second nature
