Discover Your Writing Voice in This Moment

November 28, 2018Cheerleading for writersvica

“I realize, each of us has a voice. Since the day we were born. This voice inside every one of us changes over time. I discovered that my voice is sometimes sad, sometimes merry, sometimes utterly strange, at times understanding and kind.”

“We have already a voice. We might not know it, but it is there. It’s always been there.”

“A writer’s voice is not static. Depending on the mood, on the genre, on the circumstances, that voice absorbs the external and internal world of a writer like a sponge, creating an incredible and always surprising cocktail of thoughts, emotions, and impressions.”

So many perfect ways

November 21, 2018Cheerleading for writersvica

“It’s the part of you who knows deep inside that there is not one, but an infinite number of perfect ways to do the same thing. That even in a moment of creativity, there is always more than one ideal solution. And that all of them are perfect. Not loved by all in the world, but perfect on their own. That when you grab one by the hand and keep going, it will lead you to completely unexpected adventures inside your imagination and your perception of the world.” – Victoria Ichizli-Bartels, Cheerleading for Writers: Discover How Truly Talented You Are

Favorite drink, favorite cup, favorite joke, favorite attitude

November 13, 2018Self-Gamificationvica

As I contemplated today how I would like to feature Cheerleading for Writers today, I realized I had to feature it with my favorite drink, espresso. I also realized that I never intentionally took a picture of my favorite (since childhood ) cup. So today was the day to do that. And since the word “favorite” seems to be the keyword today, I looked for what I wrote in Cheerleading for Writers using this word.

Here is what I found:

“At this point, I would like to tell you one of my favorite jokes: a man was asked whether he could play a violin. His answer was, ‘I don’t know. I never tried!’

“So, let’s approach everything with this attitude. Let’s not say, ‘I can’t do something,’ until we try, and try again. We might discover that we can, are very good at it, and that we even enjoy doing what we want or have to do.” – Victoria Ichizli-Bartels, Cheerleading for Writers: Discover How Truly Talented You Are

Happiness and Creativity Live in This Moment

It is a pretty foggy today in Aalborg, Denmark. So the next quote from Cheerleading for Writers: Discover How Talented You Are seems suitable for today:

“Here is to the true gems we have and can enjoy now in this moment, not to the illusions which fog our vision and veer us away from the brilliant paths we have chosen to walk! Happy writing and happy creating!” – Victoria Ichizli-Bartels, Cheerleading for Writers

P.P.S. The art in the middle of the picture is by my son and me from May 31, 2014, more than a year before Optimist Writer and three years before Cheerleading for Writers were born. I have sweet memories of creating this with my son when he was as old as my daughter today, a little shy of 4 years old.
