Bringing this here from the other blog for someone who needs to see this.--- For someone out there who has this huge dream, or even the smallest dream of writing.... allow me to say this:
WRITE BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE CAN OR WILL WRITE IT FOR YOU.
Your talent is not meant to be stored away in a dark corner languishing in anonymity. If you are afraid that people may not like it nor read it. That's the least of your problem. What should concern you is what your heart is nudging you to do. And if it says 'write'.... then listen to it and write. Write for the joy of writing. Write because you love to write. Write because you have something to say. Write because it feeds your dreams and your soul.
And don't worry about making mistakes, to do a good thing well you have to make some mistakes along the way. But learn and learn well. Don't fake it; write what you know. Be honest. And remember that a good piece of writing is one which a reader after reading it comes out of it thinking. And when he does that --- Congratulations! you done well where it truly matters! You have made the connection.
Believe that you can....... and you certainly can!!
Good luck! Blessings to you.
I've been gone from the internet for awhile Ellen. After reading your post I feel like writing and reading again. Sometimes I guess we just need a break! You are inspirational!

Delighted to see you again, Diana. Missed you :-) ... Yes, you're right we do need a break sometimes but we always go back to the writing where we are -- home. Thank you for your kind words, gentle lady. Blessings to you and your loved ones.
ReplyDeleteHi Ellen:
ReplyDeleteYou dropped by my blog over a month ago & sorry I was unable to leave you a reply(technical problem).
What you wrote here is very nice and I can relate to it. I am glad to have read it. It inspires me to keep doing what I am doing as the Lord wills.
By the way, I have a new blog. http://Time-of-Sharing.BlogSpot.com
Blessings,

Hi Paul! Lovely to see you here. Oh yes, keep on writing especially when God nudges you to write. :-) Blessings to you and your loved ones. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, hmmm, hmmm! There is so much delight I have received in reading your post. I love how you are encouraging the beautiful principle of Habakkuk 2:2-3...I must add how blessed I am to have 'serendipitously' met you through Debby's blog at Heavenly Humor!
ReplyDeleteThank you for encouraging the beauty of writing, because as you said it best, "WRITE BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE CAN OR WILL WRITE IT FOR YOU!"
:-) God surely works in strange ways. Cos He too led me to your wonderful blog. My utmost pleasure to read through your posts. Aha, it seems that we both have Debby to thank. Lols! :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours.
