Motivation
comes from connection. That connection can be the inner need to share
your story with the world, or it can be your caring heart wanting to
help - or please - your audience.
Either
way, see yourself as a conduit - an empty channel - between the
creativity within you and your audience you love. Here are some tips
that will help.
- Record your ideas - either use the voice recorder on your phone, or jot them down - the minute you get them.
- Make time for writing every day. Read over your ideas and write them out.
- Re-read great stuff you've read.
- Find some supportive people and share positive comments on each other's writing.
If
none of these work, then you are facing writer's block. You have some
inner fear that is keeping you from being yourself and writing your
truth and your story. In that case, face it directly.
You
can find books and tools to help. Or you can set aside four healthy
hours and just write every thought in your head, without censorship, no
matter what comes up. I've done it. It works - it's painful, but it
works. Sid Kemp
