My Writing Affirmations

“I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love, and abundance. Then, whenever doubts, anxiety or fear try to call me, they keep getting a busy signal and soon they forget my number.” – Edith Armstrong


Michael Geffner, from Mike’s Writing Workshop and Newsletter, had an interesting post on five affirmations to write by. It made me think about my own writing affirmations and this is what I came up with:

I observe my surroundings and people around me to inspire my writing.

I write things relevant to writing that I connect with.

I am committed and focused on writing every day to improve my writing style.

I want what I write to inspire and motivate.

I share my journey into the writing world and any writing resources I find with fellow writers.

Ana,

Great topic. As a writer and an affirmation expert, I find these two topics are very linked. Few careers are more about a person and his or her own motivation.

A couple of my favorite writer affirmations are:

"My writer's block is no match for my desire to get my ideas on to the page!"

"A great writer lives within me! Today that writers bursts onto the page!"

Great topic!

Write, write, write.

Pour out thoughts first, then refine them.

Thank you for visiting. You are so right, writing is the key first, then revisions later.
