Be Inspired and Inspire by Marcia Rosen
Can you
write if you’re not inspired?
Perhaps.
It’s different for each of us. I like
being inspired. You get to choose what is best for you and
yet, most of us writers are inspired by a desire and a passion to write. We might
look for inspiration from artists, writers, psychologists, philosophers,
religious leaders, and great minds who by their words or actions can open our
own minds and hearts.
Some of
us are inspired by best selling authors, others accomplishments; people
overcoming great difficulties; people daring to do what seems impossible. .
However,
the power of some outside influences can be devastating. Many can surely be positive and create hope
while others are negative and can create fear making us as writers feel
vulnerable. Outside influences are all
around us. There are family and friends who often believe their opinions and
ideas are the best, but are surely not and, there are those who believe in us
and in whom we can truly trust. They are
the ones you need to keep close and have matter most to you.
It is
wonderful to be inspired by others and by creativity or traditions. I know I am truly inspired by people who are
not willing to give up. They change our lives and teach us hopefulness. Most of all as writers we need to consider
our own lives, what stories do we have to share that will give courage and even
hope to others.
A writer
can live a rather magical type of life putting words on paper, creating
stories, poems or any number of books.
There is a special quality to taking our own thoughts and ideas and
inventing worlds where we can go and even take others with us for hours and
days, living in an astonishing place.
Writers
have long woven together amazing stories as a result of their experiences and
through imagination. They find a way to bring together the knowledge and wisdom
handed down from their own history and brought together with what was learned
in each new generation.
I
believe there is the possibility for each and every writer to reach around and
inside and tap into their own abilities and passions to write and write well.
I heard
this recently and love it, “You don’t need to believe in my dream.”
I hope
you believe in yours, M. Glenda Rosen
