#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.
