What a Writer Needs

What a Writer Needs
June 11, 2016
By: Gina Yoryet Román

A writer needs space, time, creativity, motivation,
A writer needs to always keep the four “P’s,” in mind:
Plan
Produce
Polish
Present

Sans the aforementioned, a writer is NOT really a writer.
A writer shall be loyal to one of his greatest loves – Writing.
A writer shall have mental grit.
A writer shall have genuine commitment.
A writer shall be focused, disciplined and envisioned.
A writer shall have legitimate love for his game – a game called words.
A writer shall know that he was gifted from birth
A writer shall like and love writing. But first and foremost, a writer shall be aware that it is NOT about liking “IT,” it is about transforming it and turning it into something BIG.
A writer shall have a very powerful mind to tackle all the mental deterrents, for his instinct shall always predominate any possible hurdle lying ahead.
A writer shall not lack thoroughness, not only in his writing but in every aspect of his life, for meticulousness dictates his character.
A writer MUST have the ability to ALWAYS generate new ideas
A writer MUST make magic with his words by channeling any kind of negative emotions, turn any negativity around and make magic with what he’s been gifted with.
A writer shall override “the norm” when it comes to terminology and its usage
A writer shall always expand through new horizons.
A writer shall be on top of everything when it’s about coming up with new ideas.
A writer shall have accuracy.
A writer shall be very cultivated and selective with the words he chooses.
A writer shall have resistance and persistence.
A writer shall have will, ganas, like we say in Spanish.
A writer shall be entitled to play around with his words and create more magic.
A writer shall have confidence in himself and in his words.
A writer shall be humble and open to learn more day by day.
A writer shall seek for other writers’ expertise and knowledge.
A writer shall be a dreamer.
A writer MUST be cognizant of the gift he was endowed with.
But overall, a Writer MUST have faith!
For faith is one of the most powerful forces in the universe,
And without faith, a writer would forfeit his nature, his purpose, the mission he was dictated to accomplish.

I am not yet a writer, I am just a woman who likes to express her emotions through writing…
