Welcome to Unleaded, Fuel for Writers I’m Renee with your daily 60 seconds of writerly inspiration and perspiration.
I know that most of us dream of becoming a famous writer or at least a rich writer…but sometimes our best material comes not from what we think will be commercially viable but something that we have put our heart and soul into, something created not for money or fame but for love. Clement Clarke Moore wrote one of the most famous pieces of poetry in the world not for publication, not for money, not for fame, but for his children who were the love of his life. That poem was the Night Before Christmas.
See, it isn’t all about the money or limelight it’s about the heart, the soul behind the art that is the important thing. Today I challenge you to write not for the publishing giants or for the faceless multitudes milling in bookstores, but write for those you love…tell them a good story and if it is good enough perhaps the rest of the world will want to hear it too.
If you have any inspiration or perspiration you’d like to share, visit us on the web at http://www.dayalmohamed.com/unleaded until then, keep on writing.
