The most sacred thing in life is to cherish your small
beginnings and embrace the road bumps. We speed through the road bumps hoping
to arrive at our destination quicker but we do ourselves an injustice because
learning to slow down, enjoying the view will help us appreciate the journey
ahead. When I first started my journey as being a self-published author I was
focused on producing content quick, thrusting it out to the public and becoming
a household name – to my surprise it did
not work that way. I encountered many humbling experiences just to learn
that is was never about me. It was my role to impact someone’s life with my
words.
When you are a writer you have a responsibility to be able
to communicate written and verbal effectively. Sometimes as writers we have
poor communication with those around us. I have learned that writing creates
worlds which produce reality. Words are powerful they have the ability to alter
someone’s life permanently. Writers are like superheroes we have the power to
inspire, uplift, educate and empower someone who reads our written work. We can
never take our talent lightly it holds a lot of weight. Since I have been
writing professionally for the last six years I came to the conclusion that
being transparent is powerful.
People who are looking for the answer to their life problems
need transparency, authenticity and honesty. As a writer if we cannot write
from a place of sincerity it leaves the reader feeling empty searching for a
solution. Our mission as writers is to connect the dots mentally, emotionally
and visually for our readers. I encourage
you to never leave the reader hanging if God has given you the gift to write,
write without hesitation but most of all write with a purpose!
