'Darling, I'm a writer-- I use troubles as an inspiration. So go ahead- have a try'I saw this quote on Tumblr last night and OH MY GOD. In just a sentence describes the nature of writers.
We use what we go through as inspiration.
We use what we go through to capture that real and raw emotion.
We use what we go through to teach.
I screengrabbed that tumblr post and put it on my instagram, hashtagged it '#writers' because I really believe this to be true.
What do you use as your inspiration? What can you take from your life, your experiences, or even from other people's experiences that you have had the opportunity to listen to?
I believe as writers, we have a duty to uphold to write about the truth in its most rawest form--words are powerful and as much as we think that they do not have an effect on us, they do, and what we hear or say end up manifesting themselves at some point in our lives.
We as writers use our words positively to get across all of the tribulations and troubles in life, and to make it known that there are happy endings, and that there are times where life will take its toll-- we portray both sides of the spectrum-- we capture those 'kodak' moments in life, and we capture the times in life that we don't want to think about, but we need to acknowledge that it does happen and it strengthens us as human beings.
Our words impact.
Our words CHANGE LIVES.
Darling-- we are writers, and we can change the world.
And for a little humour to end this post...
