I know. It’s taken my forever but I’m finally going to post up all those wonderful awards I’ve been given in the order they’ve been given. :) I’m sorry it’s taken so long, it’s just for things like this I like to think about what I’m going to say and the modest half of me scrunches up and gets all mousy with a loss for words, or as the case may be fingers to type with.
Thank you to Quill for ‘A Roar for Powerful Words’. This is such an awesome award, it makes me smile. :D Thankies very much I feel honored that my very first award came from you, Quill!
The three things I think that make an excelent writer with powerful words are:
Honesty – Because even when you’re writing fiction if you can’t look within and face your own personal truth no matter how ugly it might be than your words mean nothing. You can’t give a creation breath if it’s only 2d and you can’t create anything through writing unless you’re prepared to go deeper than you’ve ever gone before and acknowlege things you might not have in another craft. A writer must know and accept their soul.
A tolerance for pain – Writing can hurt sometimes. It can hurt showing others your work, even when they accept it and you’ve done it well. It can hurt to put something difficult on paper. And it can deffinetly hurt to pull something out of your soul or mind and try to put it on paper in such a way that everyone else can understand it and learn something.
An acceptance for pleasure – I love writing. Even when it hurts, it just feels so good when you look past society, inner turmoil, grammer, and all that other stuff. One needs to be able to look beyond all that even if they want to become a professional because in the end it will all mean nothing if you lose the joy you feel when pen meets paper or keys meet mother board. If you don’t enjoy your craft there’s ust no point to it
Now at The Shameless Lion’s Writing Circle, where this wonderful award originates, it says I need to pass this on to five deserving people- whom I’m asuming don’t yet have one. ;) Let’s see here I pick…
Jessie Carty. My first friend in the blogging world and a wonderful writer in both heart and mind! Never afraid to admit when things are getting hard yet constantly, though seemingly unknowingly, offering words of wisdom and uplifting thoughts that help me through my own struggles as a wannabe writier!
Mr. Grudge because he is awesome even if he doesn’t think he’s awesome and because he only writes what is truly important and never without a purpose. We could all learn a bit from his morals and life style I believe.
Preetilata of the White Window because when you read what she write’s you can help but smile and feel your heart being lifted up. Another wild spirit child in her own right who never fails to make sure I haven’t fallen off the blogosphere. :)
Just1More. Not just for his writing but for what he does with his writing. Helping others in his own special way, enccouraging new writer’s to come out of their note books and into the world (via 3Words), as well as offering up some of the most helpful comments I could ever wish for. Thank you.
JJ the Nature Nut of Nature Shows & Dreams. For painting the world in magick and beauty once again. Whenever I start to lose hope and think that this dying world will in fact be ravaged by pollution and stupid humans I run over to this blog. A true being of the forests. ;)
