Write. I need to write. I want to write.
I have no idea what to write about.
No. That’s not
true, Wendi. You’ve had a story or two kicking around in your brain for quite a
while now. You’re just letting
life get in the way. No. That’s not true either. You are afraid. You have a fear of writing that you are
doing nothing to get over. Your
first story gets published and you throw in the towel. How can you top that, right?!
What is it that you want to do with your writing? Help the world? Bring some sort of escape to those who
need it? Want it? Tell your story? You’ve had so many story ideas kicking
around in your brain ever since you can remember. You made stories up in your mind when you were a kid to make
reality a little more bearable. Take
some time to remember those stories and just start writing. Every. Day. You know you want to.
You feel it aching to burst from you. Just let it.
Allow it to happen. Give it
space and time to happen.
You need to write in the same way you need to breathe. Just do it.
I'm like that about singing. I get it - what we most need to do can be the most frightening to approach. Thanks for this reminder...
