What you need to know as a writer.

Here are the points you must know and assimilate as a digital creator who has the aspiration to influence lives through your creativity by putting pen to paper. The facts you need to understand as a writer who wants to inspire and influence lives through your write-ups.

To begin with, do not trivialize others' write-ups; always think highly of others, who are doing the same thing as you do - your fellow writers as well as their write-ups. Avoid making facsimiles of others’ published write-ups - that is plagiarism. So, you don’t need to do “copy and paste” of other writers’ published write-ups, because you would begin to lose your identity the moment you start plagiarizing, however, that’s absolutely stealing.

In addition, the difference between the person you’re copying and you won’t be known, so as a person who has passion for influencing and enlightening lives through your writings. You need to be known as who you are, and what you do and not what someone else does. You need to be distinguished among others as a passionate writer who is ready to enlighten lives.

However, the possibility of being educated and inspired so as to get inspiration in order to write in a way that would be more relevant and realistic by reading and going through others’ published works is exorbitantly high unless you choose not to be inspired while going through the works - others’ writings. Let who you are be known through what you do rather than trying to be someone else by doing “copy and paste.”

Furthermore, you don’t need to wait for long write-ups with lots of paragraphs before you write inasmuch as you’re being flowed with muse. Long write-ups don't matter, what really matters is how deep the message each carries; how powerful the picture it paints in your readers’ minds; how important, meaningful and impactful it is or appears to the readers.

Moreover, the write-up may be short, vivid and captivating. Also, it may be long, but lacks vividness. Meaning: It may be short and carries a powerful message, at the same token, it may be long but lacks a powerful meaning or message. What’s more, It may be long and however carries a powerful message and at the same time, it may be short but lacks a powerful meaning or message. It only depends on how deep the message each write-up of yours carries and how powerful the picture it paints in the readers’ minds.

Enthusiastically, be eager to read experts' edifying and inspirational books. Have enthusiasm for reading your role models' or others’ published books digitally and in print. By doing that, you would be moved seemingly by inspiration so as to put pen to paper in order to paint an enlightening and powerful picture in the minds of your readers.

In conclusion, rest whenever you feel like and make sure you're taking good care of yourself mentally and physically. Don't let nerves get the best of you. So let it be at the back of your mind that you are strong and capable.
