The allure of the written word is that we can communicate ideas and truths that feel impossible or unsafe to utter out loud.
The private practice of journaling maintains that feeling of safety, all the way still finding a space to express our thoughts.
Which is why these ideas have such value.
When we as writers and authors make the brave choice to bare our souls to the marketplace, we are meeting the needs of a populace starving for your unique perspectives.
The public (who still get to maintain THEIR privacy and isolation) are eager to connect with your ideas and truths, partly for entertainment value, but on a deeper level because you are validating the reader’s complex feelings about their own life experiences.
I invite you to not just tell stories, but tell stories that matter.
Let your characters (or lyrics) give a voice to those words that are hardest to say out loud. We all need permission to speak our truths, feel understood, feel like we understand others.
Stories that matter give readers a sense of connection to others, to the world around them. They feed and nourish their self-esteems or ease their burdens.
No matter what stage your writing career is at—whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting—the essence of your work becomes priceless when you don’t hold back.
A fearless voice is a peerless voice.
Are you ready to level up and let go of the boulders that may be holding you back? I invite you to talk to me to find out what’s been holding you back and how to break free!
Seriously, don’t wait. If you wait, you’re going to forget this moment (and your readiness to move forward). I’m inviting you to schedule your free 30-minute discovery session with me right now.
