Why Writing is More Than Just A Trendy Profession



11:03 AM (5 minutes ago)
If you pay close attention, you will notice the influx of content development into marketing. 

I'm talking about the two major streams of content creation - the written and the video content. But the written content is more popular. 

That's why there's at least 5 content writers in every 10 persons out there.  

I'm not talking about professionalism yet, because most people are just writers because it's a field that's easier to penetrate and it's quite viable especially with the introduction of sophisticated technologies in recent times. 

But I guess what we are missing out is the fact that substance is beginning to be evaded. 

I will need you to ask yourself this salient question.





Are you a really a writer in every sense of the word?

Now, Let's delve into the characteristics that makes a True Writer?

You know you're a writer at heart when:

You're Driven from Within

- You live and breathe storytelling, eager to share your ideas, emotions, and experiences with others.
- Curiosity gets the better of you, and you're always seeking to learn and understand the world around you.
- Self-expression is your oxygen – you need to convey your thoughts, feelings, and perspectives.

Your Writing Habits are Unstoppable

- Discipline is your superpower: you show up to write regularly, setting goals and deadlines.
- When writer's block, criticism, or self-doubt strike, you persevere and push through.
- Revision is your friend – you know it's essential to refining your craft.

You're Committed to Growth

- Reading widely is your thing: you devour literature, genres, and authors.
- Experimentation excites you: you try new styles, formats, and techniques.
- Feedback is welcome – you crave constructive criticism and guidance.

Your Personal Qualities Shine

- You notice the little things: people, environments, and details.
- Empathy is your strength: you understand and relate to diverse perspectives.
- Creativity sparks within you, generating unique ideas and characters.

Your Mindset is Unshakeable

- Growth is your goal: you embrace challenges and learning.
- Resilience is your armor: criticism, rejection, and uncertainty won't bring you down.
- Authenticity is non-negotiable – you stay true to your voice, vision, and values.

You're All In

- Time commitment is a given: writing comes first, even when life gets busy.
- Emotional and mental energy are poured into your work.
- Sacrifices are made for the sake of your craft – social life, comfort, and all.

Your Voice is Unique

- Your perspective is fresh and distinct.
- Authentic tone resonates through your writing.
- Style development is your ongoing journey.

True writers aren't just driven by external validation; they're fueled by an inner passion for storytelling, self-expression, and communication. They cultivate their craft through dedication, persistence, and continuous learning.

PETALS OF THE RAINBOW

AN ALERT OF 700 DOLLARS ON A SUNDAY MORNING

Image
An alert of 700 USD on Sunday morning!  I became numb for about 5minutes after seeing the notification at around 3:00am on my phone. Who could have sent this to me, now? I didn't do any foreign transaction in the past week, so I wasn't even expecting a top up in my domiciliary account.  My husband could tell that I was tossing on the bed because I couldn't really sleep. Because in my head, I was doing all sort of permutations and calculations for the money!😂  Lo and behold, when my eyes had cleared properly by dawn next morning, it turned out to be that it was the same message box that my bank was using to send me transaction details. I mean it is the same message box for my naira and USD account. 😂  UBA got me there. 😂 But what was I thinking? Apparently, I was carried away and drowsiness didn't even help matters. This greatly reminds me of today's message on FAITH. It is okay to expect a miracle from God. But how do you fold your hands, sit and expe...

I HAPPILY ACCEPT EGOISTIC MEN!

  Hello? Can you see that? Yes/No. If need be. Please adjust and re-adjust your glasses And yes, I am screaming this with an unapologetic effect I ..................... Happily Accept The Egoistic  ....................men.                                     Relax! I will make you see the reasons. A message flashed into my inbox from a young man, few days ago. I had wanted to ignore his first two greetings as a result of his language style, but I had to give him the benefit of doubt. Not too long, we had series of conversations beyond that. And just within the first few days, when I would have thought we should progress by an inch closer to being platonic friends. His contact was deleted from my HATE list. Yes, you got that right. And why would I ever do that in the first instance? He wasn't meant to be enlisted in the first place and I gave him reasons. Seeing that I was too peculiar abo...

How to survive in a demonic environment. (Three Powerful ways.)

  I want to share Three Powerful ways by which you can survive in a demonic environment/territory.  I was discussing with my husband about some strange things that I started to notice around our apartment during the day. During those times, he's usually not around. He would always be at work. One one of those times, the strange presence came visiting and my children happened to see it first.  As soon as they started pointing at a weird thing, I braced up in my spirit and continued what I was doing.  If you happen to live in one currently, kindly walk with me.  I was at the kitchen doing the dishes when I got goosebumps and instantly I started to chuckle.  From chuckling, I began to laugh.  I laugh so hard that I had to leave the dishes in the kitchen and go to the sitting room There, I sat and laughed, looking into space and through the eyes of the spirit, I confronted what was.  As soon as that episode was over, I didn't even understand all I jus...
