Breakthrough Writing 1: Ask Yourself Some Tough Questions

24 August 2005 One Comment

This is the first installment from How to Arrive at Breakthrough Writing and Find W.O.W. (Words of Wisdom) Factors.

Ask Yourself Some Tough Questions

This one made me really feel uneasy at first. But, once I gave in and asked away, I found a release. Some of the questions I had to face were:

  • “Are you writing what you really want to write?”
  • If not, “What’s keeping you from writing things that really matter to you?”
  • “What is it that you actually want to say to others through your work?”
  • “Are you just weaving words or do you really have something to say?”

The W.O.W. Factor:
(Words Of Wisdom)

Life is too short to waste on non-essentials. Yes, even in writing. Sure, there are projects that we need to take on so that there’ll be food in our mouths and money to pay off our credit. But, don’t let these things distract you forever in doing what you love to do best. Make each moment count. Let your writing matter deeply. Passionately.
