To Jillian

We writers must stick together.
For we are also artist with a pen.
To live to write,
To write to live,
Either way it is our way.
The best that defiantly beats the rest,
Is that the inspiration comes from every where.
Look to your left,
To your right,
Behind you,
Now look in front of you
And write.
Let your heart do the work.
Spill everything.
No matter the pain that comes with.
Tell the world about your pain,
Your love,
Your hopes,
Your sadness,
What makes you laugh and cry.
For good readers don't care what it is about.
They like to relate.
To relate is to understand and know.
So give them something to relate to.  
Show them they are not alone.
Open your heart and write.
Take a deep breath
And begin the rest of your life.
