I am a Writer!
By Debby Giusti
I am a writer.
Characters live in my mind and tell me their stories. I bring them to life on the printed page so others can delight in their antics, learn from their mistakes and celebrate their triumphs.
Sometimes I create worlds that have never before existed, but more often, I reveal something new about that which seems ordinary or commonplace.
No matter the genre or the setting, stories teach, inspire, affirm and entertain. They underscore truth, expose darkness and bring the hidden to light in unique ways that grab the reader’s imagination.
In addition, they reveal the depths of human suffering and the heights of human achievement.
I don’t work alone. The spiritual realm encourages me, and the Lord God Himself directs my hands to ensure the words, seemingly pulled from thin air, have meaning and merit.
I’m blessed to share in the creative process in such a simple yet challenging way, and I invite each of you to follow me on your own writing journey.
Write stories, write articles or editorials, how-to books or memoirs and journals. Pick up your pen or turn on your computer, and begin today to create that which needs to be told.
Ignore your insecurity, still the negative interior voice that says you cannot write, and step boldly onto the creative path. Remember, once you begin to write, you are a writer so give your Muse free rein to explore the stories buried deep within you. Write about fear to become brave, write about heartbreak to appreciate love, write about death to embrace life more fully.
You have something important to say, and by pulling from the kaleidoscope of your thoughts and actions, both past and present, you’ll breathe life into a new reality seen through your own personal lens. Then you, too, will encourage and uplift someone, somewhere and somehow, who needs to read what you have penned.
Come write with me, dear friend, and allow the sparks of your imagination to ignite the world.
Wishing you abundant blessings,
Debby Giusti
