Words that breathe are alive.
These are the words that dance off your fingers into readers’ hearts, the words that burn bright and clear on the page and shatter apathy.
Your writing comes alive when powerful words breathe life into your scenes and you sprinkle gold dust all over the page.
Waking up your language sparks a fire and vibrancy in your stories that dry, stuffy prose simply can’t compete with.
This isn’t about using big words to sound deep, inflate your ego, or bamboozle your people.
It’s about writing through the clutter to get to the gold underneath the clichés and watery ideas.
It’s about breathing life and fire into every word that glows on the page and tantalises your readers.
It’s about the difference between slapping some lines together and crafting a tightly woven scene that leaps off the page and thrills your audience.
Your writing comes alive when your star ideas light up your words and hook your readers from the first sentence. It’s the deft presentation of a gourmet feast that dazzles your people and makes them loyal to you because they can’t get enough of you.
“Because this business of becoming conscious, of being a writer, is ultimately about asking yourself, How alive am I willing to be?”
Anne Lamott
Your writing comes alive when you come alive.
The writers who keep their audience on the edge of their seats are the ones burning with an inner fire that lights up every word. They’re the rock star creatives who live rich, multifaceted lives that enhance their stories and make them the best at what they do.
You can’t write words that breathe if you’re living a drab one-dimensional life. You gotta cultivate an active creative lifestyle that inspires and elevates your art, not a sedentary, plain one that stifles it.
This means you have to be open to new things and experiences that spark your fire and make you come alive. It means you have to embrace the extraordinary so it can breathe life into your words.
Your writing comes alive when you make bold, exuberant art brimming with your wit and genius.
It’s not enough to show up half-heartedly and hope to make something memorable if you’re lucky.
You gotta commit to writing long and hard often enough to create something unforgettable and on the edge of what you’re capable of.
Gorgeous art doesn’t just bloom from thin air. Words that breathe don’t flow from a dry well.
You have to tend your words with delicate touches and coax them out of your skin. You have to be patient with them and give them breathing room to unfurl into greatness.
And maybe, just maybe, if you write from deep within yourself, you’ll write something wild and cool and full of adventure.
You’ll write something pulsing with life, fire, and power.
You’ll write right on the edge of your genius where your words are bright, clean, and sharp because you dare to bloom wild and free.
Come alive.
Make gorgeous art.
Write words that breathe.
Your people are waiting.
