Why I Write What I Write!

Because love compels. Penning down my thoughts amidst the vacuum of life when inspiration strikes is intriguing. 

When my mouth loses confidence, writing has the fortitude to bring forth what's within. Though a novice, without embracing writing, I would be paralyzed in many ways. I find confidence in the words of Octavia E. Butler, who said, "You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence." Indeed, I have not attained my intended goals, and yet, persistence is what kept me going.

I WRITE, 

Not to receive the applause of man, but for love and enjoyment. 

To ponder how the mind works and how God allows us to think differently.  

To wonder at the beauty of perspectives and marvel at how God made our minds and thoughts to be creative. 

To be amazed that words have the power to change and uplift lowly souls. 

To give fortitude that you can rise above your comfort zone and move beyond. 

To make someone feel they belong, because of the similar disposition of judgment and discretion. 

To provide affirmation and support that we stand for the same cause. 

To demonstrate that writing is not simply the placement of words; it is time and hard work. 

To showcase the value of written books and to provide credentials to education. 

To respect what it feels like to be a teacher of oneself. 

To examine what it feels like to ponder. 

To realize that there is so much to explore. 

To be enthralled by the avalanche of information.
