Be Careful What You Pray For
These are difficult times. What are you learning about yourself? What are you tolerating and why? How did you make the decision to stay or leave Twitter, or to take or not take the Covid-19 vaccine? Use those moments in your writing.
Too often we hear “Write what you know.” Well, I never drove a sled a cross a snow desert, but I knew teenagers from my teaching years and THEY are what I wrote about…driving a sled across a snow desert. You know your feelings. Write them. You have heard your significant other’s arguments or reasoning. Use them.
Others will recognize the authenticity of the voice, the feelings, the decisions and say, “I relate to this author.” Ah…that’s the beginning of a fan club.
