How 200 crappy words can (eventually) turn you into a writer.

“There is nothing to writing, all you do is sit down and bleed.” -Ernest Hemingway

Recently, I read about a writer who wrote hundreds of novels and when he was asked how he did it he gave his secret saying that he would write 200 crappy words a day.

I liked it immediately and intend on writing something, anything in hopes that something valuable or meaningful might come through as that be the essence of it.

It’s such a pity how often fear hinders us from sharingthe gifts we all have hidden inside that are never shared.

Often times, I end up not wanting to write anything or share at all because maybe I don’t have anything great to share but I consider it far worse if you fail to practice or try.

It’s easy to concern oneself with the critiques of others for fear of being judged but the truth is that we are our own worst critic,

It’s very difficult to live up to our ideals it because the slightest lack to do your best often hurts us from reaching out goals.

Moment from moment to be conscientious, to create, grow and expand is the most beautiful experience in an expression of love.

Initially, this post was a legitimate crappy 200 words.

After some toying around with words and ideas it has become something that is worthy of being read.

Thanks and Cheers.
