The Swirl and Swing of Words by Meredith Allard

Some of us are compelled to share our creative visions through the written word. If we want to stay true to our dreams of being writers, then we should embrace the writing life.

Embracing the writing life means giving into the joys and the challenges of our chosen art form. Embracing the writing life means living fully, being present in the moment, and finding meaning in the smallest things. This is how we fill our creative well, after all--with life.

Whether you are new to writing or have many years under your belt, embracing the writing life may be the best thing you can do for yourself as a creative person, and a human being.
