Write to Write- A Formidable Release (24)

Does something awesomely written, keep its luminosity, even when no one reads it? Do words become less impressive when they are typed on a page and no one visits? Why do writers need someone to read their words- validation yes, recognition yes, but I think it comes down to getting the particular order of prose, the semblance of meaning and structure, transferred to someone else. For someone else to read it means its out there. Famous writers get all of this. They feel their words being transferred.

Some writers never have their words perused, by choice. While some desperately want a large audience, but have to be content with a few readers. It takes a lot to put yourself out there. To really care about every word order you choose, every sentence you put together like its a brush stroke on a beautiful landscape. It takes courage to say what you feel and stick to a voice. Knowing your voice is not for everyone. It is a brave act to write for others, even though maybe, no one will ever take the time to read it.

It is a formidable release, to let the writing just be for you and you alone. To not share it out to the world. To take your thoughts from journal to blog and just let them be. The temptation to 'advertise' is strong. It just may never leave you. For once someone acknowledges you- you are hooked. Once you get a positive comment- you are changed some how. You get a rush of adrenaline- a surge of creativity hoping for another fix of confidence. Endless loop- so break it.

You are writing for you. Always writing for you. If someone reads your words and appreciates them- it is a bonus. But once you try to write for someone else- the words get angry, they retreat. Then you have to lure them back in with promise of brilliance. So just write for you- you have a lot to say. The words, they like you, they take care of you. They always have. Either pen or type they have always sought you out. Don't let them down now.

Shh... here they come. Just hit publish and be done with it. Write every day- never ahead. It is critical for this #EduBlogYear to be successful for you- and you alone- that you write daily. Publish with the group and let it be. Simply, let it be enough to just write.
