Just A Writer (Friday Feelings)

 

#fridayfeelings – simply; only; no more than

I hate it when people say, “I’m just…”  it grates my entire spirit.  They are saying, “I’m simply… I’m only… I’m no more than…”  That seems to self-defeating talk to me.

Writers should not say I am just a writer.  That is incorrect.  They MUST say, “I AM A WRITER.”  This must be said with confidence, assurance, and tenacity.

When you say I’m just a writer, you are saying that you are nothing but a writer or you are merely a writer.  This is not true.  You are more than a writer.  You are a carrier of words.  You convey messages and meanings that give people life, hope, inspiration, motivation, and assurance.

Saying I’m just a writer cheapens the craft.  Writers create worlds, people, ideas, ideals, and so much more.  Writers share their stories and those stories move people to act, change, and move.  Writers entertain, enlighten, encourage, and electrify the world.  Writers help people use their imagination so that they can escape to magical places and meet amazing people.

You are a WRITER!  You are a minister that gives life, heals souls, changes minds, and rebuilds hearts.
