A member of my writing group shared this with me and I want to share it with all of you. I’d seen it before, but it is a reminder for all of us who write : Words Matter. Words make a difference in people’s lives.

All of us working on projects strive to tell a story others want to read. Sometimes we struggle with what or how to say it. We get caught up, especially if you’re a new writer like myself, in all the rules of writing. We lose focus. Stop.

Don’t forget why you started writing. Words matter and when they are simple words of truth, they matter most, leaving the biggest impact You had a story to tell. Tell it.
