Motivational Monday #26

Not only is it Motivational Monday today, it is also National Everyone Writes Day. It would be wrong for me to say that everyone should write loads today or everyday because I know that everyone has their likes and dislikes and people have things that they are good at but I think that it's important to stress how integral writing is to our lives. We write every day whether that is at school, at uni, at work or even writing a Facebook status/Tweet... It's everything about who we are and I love it. As you can tell.
Writing is not just a means to get across what you are trying to say, it is a way of expressing everything that you are, and everything that you believe in! I love being able to completely show you all who I am by the way I write, by what I write and sometimes the most important, how much I don't write. If I'm inspired, I will share my inspiration with you and blab on and on about everything and anything but the second that I am upset or don't feel like writing, I won't. Silence or limited writing sometimes says more than a whole essay. We like reading people's writing and most of us love the creation part of writing. The ability to create whatever we want, the possibilities are endless!
I want you all to take a moment today to write something that is not related to school or work. I want you to write something that makes you happy and something that you don't have to write. That could be a diary entry, or a Facebook status or it could be the start to a story. It could be the creation of a quote or it could simply be a comment to this blog. Whatever it is, make it your own and completely love it!

If you do like writing, there is this brilliant thing running during the month of November called NaNo WriMo, which stands for National Novel Writing Month. It is an excellent way for people who love writing to channel their love into one month. It gives a marvellous outlet for people that might not be brave enough to write any other time or simply not have the time. There is an ultimate aim for you to write a 50,000 word novel by the end of the month. If you fancy extending your abilities, give it a go. I wish I could but I have got a lot on in the month of November and don't think I will be able to have enough time for it. 
I have in the past written 80,000 and 100,000 word novels and it is a huge accomplishment. It's such a brilliant goal and when you reach it, it feels amazing. Definitely do give it a go.

Writing can be for anyone, not for people who you think are good at it. It's personal to you and if you love it, you're good at it. It's simple as that.

Extend your mind and your efforts, get writing today and please, leave some of those writings below. I'd love to read some of your thoughts!
