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

Writing Problems
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
Make Your Words…
Make your words
reach those
that can’t be reached
Make your words
inspire
those that are seemingly lost
Make your words
educate
those who thirst for knowledge
And make your words
entertain
those who need an escape from their problems
Look Deep Within
Instead of waiting for your mind to create a thought, trust in your imagination and let your
emotions guide you to create a masterpiece.
Mark’s Writing Motto #29
There are times in a writer’s life when there are moments of stagnation. But rest assured, it’ll be a brief pause. Just remember, that you as a writer cannot use up creativity. It’s something that’s in you; the more times you use it means the more you have. A writer’s creativity well is ever flowing, so tap into it. There are no limits, no boundaries, so set your mind free.
Be Who You Are
Your words may
not be the most
eloquent,
emotional,
humorous,
thought-provoking,
informative,
or
inspirational
but that does not mean
you should give up writing
The fact that you’re
making an attempt
to share yourself
despite being judged
makes you a devoted
artist to your craft
with the heart and spirit
of a true writer
So lift someone up
with your words
and
make it stand the test of time
Quiet Time
There are times when
your mind goes blank
and
there are no words
Have no fear,
the mind just
needs a chance
to rest and recharge
So let the process
run its course
and
it will be back to normal
Until then
do not worry
the mind is not empty,
it’s just quiet
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.
