Do you write and bleed?
Inspiring words about the writing process.

If your pen is broken
stab it into your veins
fill it up with blood
If you write and dont bleed
Did you really write anything?
If you want to be a writer
Write for yourself, first
Write like no one will ever care
Write until your fingers ache
Write until your heart, soul and very being ache more
*
If your mind goes blank
Dig deeper, visit a friend
or take a walk, don't worry
If you write and the words don't come easy
You're on the right path
Let it ferment, let it take shape
Write what you want, first
Write as if no one will read it
Write until you touch those deep emotions
Write until your anxieties, fears and hopes are laid bare
*
