A Passionate Writer
Passion. It can go a long way in your writing. All too often writers fail to put words on paper and call it writers’ block. But sometimes it goes deeper than that; sometimes its a loss of passion about your writing. Afterall, if you aren’t writing with passion, the words often won’t come and if they do they’ll be forced. Forced words never match up to words written with passion and they will read with a forced sense–the reader will know.
I’ve recently had the honor to become friends with a writer who writes with vivid passion. There’s never a day goes by that she hasn’t written an enourmous word count–whether it’s in story, outlining, or writing down ideas.
She’s given several of her characters their own blogs. I think this is an excellent idea to help a writer really get into the mind of their character. I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard of this method before now either. Many tips suggest a writer should journal or create character outlines, but to journal from your characters POV? It seems that would be an excellent way to allow them to grow and become who they are.
I wanted to share this with you and introduce you to fellow writer, and friend, Lois Eighmy. You can read her main blog, Musings of a Creative Writer, as well as her livejournal, LMEighmy.
Lois is indeed an inspiration to all of her writing friends. She has spunk, loves to write and most importantly–she has passion!
Happy Writing!
