Roar for Powerful Words Award

Hi all!

I have been terribly busy since 2008 and it never seems to let up. Being the woman I am, this has led me to feeling philosophical about what I want my life to be.

But, there are things to do before I let my philosophy brain take over completely.

I have been nominated twice for this award by two very lovely people, so I think it’s about time I get to putting it up and awarding it to others!

Jim Melvin of The Death Wizard Chronicles and WriterWoman of She Writes Poetry have granted me the Roar for Powerful Words award.

The rules follow:

* Link back to the person who tagged you.

* List three things that you believe are necessary to make writing good and powerful.

* Tag five others and comment on their blog informing them that they’ve been tagged with this award.

Without further ado, three things I believe are necessary for making writing good and powerful:

1. Write truth. Whether it’s your personal truth, the truth your imagination knows, or truths you hold true to life, write the truth. Truth shines through. Truth can be written with confidence. Truth speaks of experience and belief. Truth speaks of power.

2. Be passionate. Be passionate about what you write. Care. Want. Need. Have the desire to write about a subject and to speak to others through your words about certain subjects.

3. Work for it. If you’re not willing to put the work (research, time, editing, proofreading) into your writing, then don’t do it. Find something else that speaks to you.

And there you have it! I would like to pass on the award to five people who do the above:

Elisa of Watching Dr. Who
Gillian of Food Past
Randi of Parenting Toddlers
Rooze on Literary Mary
And all of the writers on Fallen Words

Thank you to those who nominated me and to those I have nominated.

    Truth is so important. Yet so difficult. Truth involves sharing our inner weaknesses, as well as our strengths. But I agree wholeheartedly that it makes for powerful writing.

    Thank you. I think it’s the difficulty in telling the truth that we can all recognize and thus respect in writing (and otherwise in life).
