THE MIRACLE OF THE IMPACT OF THE WRITTEN WORD

The miracle of having a creative talent, to be able to express in the written word anything and everything that is on your mind and to express it in such a way that causes an impact, to persuade or to share information that will help someone, to make a dent into someone's consciousness that will cause them to change, to say these words in written form that have a natural beautiful conversational flow, to use colorful words that cause your reader to see beauty, to use rhyming words that cause your reader to be in a state of song and of music as they read your writing.

To use the pen as a sword, to fight opposition and to battle against hatred or others' wrongdoings.

To use your pen as a bandage to heal someone's woes, to provide comfort to people who read what you write.

To have a dream to use your writing as an occupation, a craft, an art, a way to express your emotions and to use it as a force to do tikkun olam which is Hebrew meaning "the healing of the world."

To be so prolific that your readers fear your written words and attack your thoughts, getting jealousies from people who cannot write, to write even when these enemies attack your writing.

To have the Freedom of the Press, to have the freedom to write anything that is on your mind, to continue to write even when your writing is opposed as people who read it must see the truth even when they do not want to see it. To show in black print on pure white paper the truths that others must swallow when they read it and for them to taste words in their mouths that are hard to swallow, hard to deal with, because the truth is there in stark black and white print.

To not have the evil to be a critic of someone's writing because you yourself cannot write and you covet the talents of a writer.

To use the written word as truths to try to change and to heal. To rub someone the wrong way as you publish your truths, combing someone's hair backwards, but to nevertheless continue to be truthful in your writing and for someone to read it and to then change for the better.
