Write To Save Your Readers

Do you have any problems in your life? Maybe you don’t have enough time to clean your home. Maybe it’s a sickness, an unruly child, or a broken relationship. Whatever the case, you need a solution. Do you have a solution to your problem? Have you searched for one?

If not, I encourage you, to educate your way out of your problems if possible. Note however, not all problems can be solved this way. It may take time or you may need to learn something from your struggles.

As a writer, the best thing you can offer your readers is a solution to their problems. Many people will read and as long as you have passion for your readers and accurate information, you can help them to dig out of their pits of despair.

What kind of problems do people experience? In most cases, people want to:

  • Make more money
  • Save money
  • Save time
  • Avoid effort
  • Escape pain

If you can use your writing to do one or more of the above items, and influence your readers to take action, you will become viewed as an expert in your field and a good writer. Wouldn’t that be outstanding? In the meanwhile, as you’re trying to help someone else, you may find the solution to your problem(s)!

Sticky Situation: Lebron James Must Win Every Game!

I was very cynical lastnight as I watched the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic. As always, the Cavaliers start off strong in the first and second quarters, only to fall short in the last two. It happened again. They were ahead and then lost momentum in the third quarter.

In my mind I gave up, but...the Cavs pulled it off. They won the game 112-102! I was impressed, but now they're in a sticky situation. In order to win the Eastern conference championship and move on to the NBA championship, they must win the last two games. It's pressure to say the least.

You writer might find yourself in a sticky situation: You may think you lack the time, the skills, and the influence to write. But just like the Cavs, you've got to take it one step at a time. How?

1) Recognize your potential through your experiences and passion to write.
2) Write at least a paragraph a day.
3) Refuse to stop.
4) Don't listen to haters and naysayers.
5) Like Lebron, get the eye of the tiger!

While the Cavalier's victory to the Eastern Championship is not certain, you can make your writing destiny a surety if you possess the passion and the confidence to see your writing go to publication. Just do it!
