i came into this post
without
a
real plan
i think that much is obvious by now
but it's national
encourage a
young writer
day
and i knew i needed to tell you
that you've got this
yeah, you - with the ink on your fingers
and probably your face, too
if you're anything like
me
you've got this
the words
inside of you
mean
something
whether or not you think that at this moment
i don't know what you've got going on in your writer-ly life
right now
and
how could i?
but i do know that God gave you words, and that gives your words a meaning
writer, don't give up
don't give up
don't give up
don't give up
please don't give up
i know it's hard, and i know
it hurts sometimes
because i'm a writer, too
so i get it
well, not all of it
i know you're different than i am
we all are
so i can't fully understand - but I know that we all
have words
words that are needed - so don't give up
writer, don't give up
your words have a purpose
your words are needed
i promise you that this is going to be worth it in the end
writer, don't give up
we're going to make it
~ Savannah Grace
We're going to make it
Yes, we all are going to make it. All we need to do is keep pushing towards our goals, and trust what God wants us to do. Follow God's calling-that's the only way to succeed in life.
ReplyDeleteI love what you wrote, Savannah! :)

DeleteThis is so beautiful, Savannah! I know you probably meant this for people who are actually like, writing stories, but I couldn't help reading these words as if they were written for song writers as well. :-) Seriously girl, this is amazing, and so inspiring! THANK YOU for posting this!
ReplyDelete~Skylar
Well, both song writers and story writers do their best to put emotion in their words and make it sound as beautiful as it can ;). So we do have some things in common! :D So glad this inspired you. <3

ReplyDeleteHOW

YOU

Girl, YOU ARE INSPIRING.I think God wanted you to be inspired by that, too. You have an amazing talent, and HOW CAN YOU BE SO GOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD AT THIS WRITING STUFF??????? I know that when ever you get published, your books are going to sell FAST.
I think, even though this was supposed to be for writers- I think it can be for anyone who is striving to follow their dreams.

Thanks, Jaidyn! I wasn't sure what I was going to post today, but I knew that I had to write up something, and I think this sufficed ;). I'm glad you enjoyed this! <3
DeleteThank you so much for this, Savannah.
ReplyDeleteI've been seriously doubting myself as a writer for some time, and this was just what I needed. <3
*hugs* I'm so glad that this encouraged you, May! The gift of words was given to you for a reason ;).
DeleteWow, that is awesome!! You write really good poetry! This was really encouraging today, thank you!

DeleteLets hope!!!!! JK
ReplyDeleteGreat post!!!! :-)
Haha xD. Thank you, Ellen!
DeleteAhh this is awesome! As a young writer myself, this is beautiful. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Emily :D.
DeleteGIIIIIIRL. YOUR WORDS. SO MUCH GORGEOUS. And woooow. This is SUCH a timely post, because I've been having these EXACT SAME THOUGHTS running through my brain for the last few days! I just keep thinking how hard the writing life is, and how easy it is to just give up. But it's so, SO worth it to keep on. No matter where you are in your writing life--published, not published, new to writing, been writing forever--it doesn't matter. It just matters that we KEEP ON. God gave us each this passion for a reason, and as long as we continue to pursue it, He'll put us exactly where we need to be.
ReplyDeleteAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS! I had no idea it was encourage a young writer day, but you accomplished it ten times over! This was JUST the encouragement I needed. Thank you for being such a blessing, Savannah! *hugs*
CHRISTINE. I CAN'T. Oh, gracious - I don't even know what to do with your niceness! But thank you SO MUCH, friend <3 <3 <3. I'm incredibly happy that this was encouraging - and THANK YOU for your comment, because it encouraged ME :D. You're the sweetest, Lauri *all the hugs*. <3 <3
DeleteCan't wait to see us on the side of making it and succeeding. xD

DeleteAhh this is beautiful and so nice!! It's the best thing to tell writers not to give up. NOT EVER. Writing isn't easy but it's worth it and it gets better the more we do it. <3
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU, Cait-Queen! And yes, writing is almost never easy, but always always worth it. I can't wait to see you get published someday <3.
DeleteLove this so much!! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emily! <3
DeleteAw, great poem! I've been sort of cringeing at my current story because the main reason a character hates another character is SO weak and it's the main conflict, so I have to strengthen it, but I have no idea how. o.O
ReplyDeleteSiiiiiiighhhhh...
Anyway, great post again! :D

<3 U!
ASDJSLSLDHAL HOW DID I JUST NOW SEE THIS?! Oh my stars...SAVANNAH. You words are too beautiful and epic for me to describe. <333
ReplyDeleteJust...thank you so much for this. Not gonna lie, this month has been SO tough in terms of writing. Things finally started working out on Friday--I had my FIRST day where I actually loved my story. I finally fell in love with it. That doesn't there won't be the plot holes, inconsistencies, repetitive descriptions, and rambling plot--but I love it for all its flaws anyway. Still, it's hard to keep writing. I just have to remember that I'm writing for Someone greater than my inadequacies.
THANK YOU AGAIN, SAV! This post really touched my heart. You are the best, okay? (And KEEP WRITING. I want to read Killing Snow pleaseeeee.)
Ahhh this is beautiful. YOU are beautiful <3
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so beautiful and so inspiring :) Thank you for sharing <3
