OctPoWriMo Day 7, Dear Writer

Since I have nothing lately, I’m going to steal Sascha’s inspirational post in hopes that it will inspire me. Shhh…

Sascha Darlington's Microcosm Explored

Dear Writer,

Practice everyday

even when words evade

Let them rise from you

your heart, your soul, your brain

Take risks, pour out despair

Care to create your truth

for there’s no one else who can

Write about what matters to you

for your passion will show

Write about what you know

and what you don’t

Play in the land of make-believe

Create worlds you wish to visit

make them vividly real on paper.

But mostly dear writer,

Listen to criticism, take what’s true

but never let it own you

so you never write again.

The same for rejections.

Don’t reject yourself.

Dream daily

Be sensitive

But never ever quit.

Signed, Someone Just Like You

Sascha Darlington
