A Writer’s Declaration



A Writer’s Declaration

I don’t write for you.

I write for me.

If you love what I’ve written, God bless you.

If you hate what I’ve written, God bless you.

The words will do the work on their own, and they will touch you in whatever way serves you best.

I don’t write for me.

I write for you.

If you love what I’ve written, I have succeeded for reaching your heart.

If you hate what I’ve written, I have still succeeded because I have stirred a chord of your own truth inside you.

The words will carry my message to the places inside you that need to hear it, need to feel it.

These words are powerful, magical, and they cannot be contained.

Once formed, my words can reach anybody, anywhere.

When my words reach your eyes, I hope they penetrate through to your soul.

I hope they make you think, change, grow, stretch, listen, love and live.

I am a master of my craft.

I paint pictures with my words, like an artist uses a brush.

I heal ailments with my words, like a surgeon uses a scalpel.

I mend broken hearts with my words, like a prayer uses the light of God.

I teach with my words, like a professor uses worldly knowledge.

I change the fabric of public opinion with my words, like an activist uses a rally.

I do all these things and more, and it costs me nothing and requires no materials other than the ethers of my thoughts, the meditations of my heart, and the inspiration of the Divine Force that pulses through me.

This is a power I am grateful and humbled to have, to give, to use.

I am a writer, and I declare my purpose is met each time I create wisdom through these words.

I dedicate each breathing word to the healing of those who read them, and to the healing of myself as I write.
