Short Cut
By Syireen R

I belong to several communities/groups/partnerships of writers and recently disturbed more than before with the growing trend of purpose behind published #words.
.
Sometimes I hear proposals and recommendations that is more for economic generation; ego building; business booster than the pure intention of #writers who #write with purpose.
.
I wanted to put on record what it means to be a #writer and what it is to just write by purging nonsensical words on paper. There is a huge gap of Truth between these two. It is rooted in Intention.
.
First,
.
It is not okay to write just because you have an ego. It is not okay that your ‘languaging’ is crude and you call it literature. It is not okay to have a book because you want the title ‘author’. Please don’t taint us writers who treasure our world that way.
.
Second,
.
Writing is probably the hardest thing for writers because fear grips our heart at the thought of failing our readers. There is no short cut to extending a piece of our heart; a slice of our experience; a whisper of our dreams and the abyss of our passion.
.
Third,
.
Our truth matters because our lives are learning experiences others can benefit. Be purposeful in adding the body of knowledge for our nation to be of greater beings that does more than worldly pursuits. Our words are triggers and is the most powerful weapon known to men…it does move mountains!
.
So, if you need to write, write with purpose…may it be for leisure, fantasy, lifestyle or business. Be weary that your word matters to the world who is receiving it. Make every word count.
