Inspirational Words for Writers

That said, too, we learn from our mistakes and imperfections, and I certainly have had an abundance of those, respectively. My goodness, we all make mistakes; no one’s perfect, and we’re all flawed. But at least in writing, we can at least more easily fix those flaws.

I used to try and edit as I went along, and I also used to write in “flowered” terms. Now, whether I’m writing a book or just an essay, I try to keep it simple; to “cut to the chase,” so to speak…and to just write my thoughts first. And then after I’ve completed the core of the essay…or a core chapter of a book, I will then go back to it and fix and edit it. But I first try to just let the words or the thoughts flow and to complete those thoughts, and not worry about whether the sentences are complete or grammatically correct. I worry about that later.

The way I look at it is this: if you have an idea that pops into your head…or is somehow whispered in your ear…sometimes literally…then you have to follow through with that idea. Especially if that idea is somehow going to bring a little love and kindness into the world. And if you don’t follow through with that idea…that instruction…that little whisper from the Universe…then you are not only doing yourself a great disservice by not fulfilling your destiny, but you’re doing a great disservice to those who would benefit from your idea…from your little portion of Light and Love that have been “instructed” to bring to the world.
