The Joys Of Being A Writer

“The pen is mightier than the sword” – Edward Bulwer-Lytton

The Joys Of Being A Writer
Lisa Vitus

If you enjoy sitting down with a cup of coffee by the fireplace and writing for an hour or two, then this article is for you. The sound of keys tapping on your computer, or a used pencil grazing your journal is a comforting sound to most writers. One of the best parts of writing is the imagination factor. The writer has their own idea about what is being described. But a reader could interpret it to be something completely different. Writing is a unique way to express yourself. In good and in bad, writing will always be waiting for you.

Writing is an art. You have multiples tools to perform with; a laptop, computer, journal, notebook, and tablet. You have a unique style of language or calligraphy. The best part of it is letting your piece shine for everyone to see. Whatever you write will receive feedback. Some feedback may not be positive, but understand the suggestions that are being given. What really matters is that you enjoy your work. Don’t let anyone take that from you.

There is nothing like writing carelessly. Being able to say and imagine whatever you want is a freedom that most people forget about. Use that imagination and write something to be proud of.

It doesn’t matter what age you are—when you write for pleasure you are opening your mind up for adventures.

Happy writing!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
