Just for today,
Unleash the book inside you.
Tell your story.
Share your wisdom.
Make your readers or listeners go WOW!
Just for today,
Start a new habit and write something each morning.
Journal the day just gone,
Or write yourself in to a new future.
Just for today,
Notice not just the words,
But the gaps between the words.
Ensure there are pauses for breath,
Where your genius can come to roost.
Just for today,
Let the words come through you,
Not from you.
Write in trance,
So your readers become entranced.
Just for today,
Expand your vocabulary.
Learn a new word and use it in your text.
Look it up in a thesaurus and find its synonyms and antonyms.
Use them too.
Just for today,
Make up a new word.
Take two words you know and join them together.
Have fun with concatenations.
Just for today,
Imagine a new world.
Describe it using all the senses.
Turn up the brightness and enhance the aromas.
Sharpen the sounds and intensify the feelings.
Just for today,
Wander down unimagined paths.
Show your reader or your listener new misters.
Engage with their heart,
Mind and soul,
So that they lose themselves in your words and your world.
Just for today,
Step into the spotlight and share your words with the world.
Be open to feedback and relish in your reviews.
And especially for tomorrow,
End with a cliffhanger.
Leave room for the sequel to come along.
Bring a conclusion to most of your book,
But leave some nuggets of wisdom left to be unsaid.
