Inspiration for Writing

Hello! I made this for you, I know you have a book inside of you; you want to start blogging, writing those poems, stories, articles, drama, etc. You know it, and I am doing this for you today. To inspire you to get started, continue, and keep moving to make that dream a reality.reading_a_book

I believe you paint the world with your words and make it such a beautiful place as a writer. For writers, poets and authors, the fact is this; you must come to a point where you totally fall in love with your writings, style, right from the beginning or along the journey and totally settle this is your heart that not everyone will love your piece. Your work may or may not be the best in your eyes, but it’s your babe, you’ve got to love it and make it the best at all times. If you seek perfection it will elude you, seek progress, the desire to communicate something of real value to your reader; to inform, entertain, educate. Communicate your expertise in little ways, not seeking to please the masses.
Someone may pick your piece and be inspired others will not, that’s life. If they find your work meaningful, great if not, it may not be for them or not the right time. Don’t give up, let love lead. Keep giving your best, the universe will reward you greatly.
