Stacy’s Five Reasons to Write Something Today
-
Most of us have a story to tell. If little else, we care about something so passionately that we long to share our perspective with others. Put your pen to paper and express yourself.
-
The Bible (and the cliché) is correct – there’s nothing new under the sun. But no one can write the story you’re meant to write, in the manner that you’ll write it. There’s an audience for everyone, whether it’s family gathered around the kitchen table or a coliseum full of fans. Write the story that’s in your heart and you will have fulfilled your purpose.
-
Whether you write for 15 minutes or five hours, just getting something on paper is important. It disciplines you and helps you view yourself in a new light – as the writer you have become.
-
The words springing from your soul may be the balm someone else needs to laugh, heal or gain a sense of understanding about an issue that had seemed out of reach until they read your work.
-
Tomorrow is not promised! If writing is your dream, buy a notebook or recorder, drown out the “buts, ifs, and can’ts” and treat yourself as worthy of living your dream.
