Words on a page. Not to be confused with words spoken. Words on a page. While handwriting, your entire body feels the emotional connection. To talk or use a speaking voice, it’s extremely easy to fit into any character. I’m guilty of it. When I need a pick me up, I’ll use my inflection, pitch, volume and tone to pick someone up. Seeing them smile, giggle, snort and respond gives back a new source of positive energy. With daily writing it’s just me. What are the possibilities that words on a page without volume will have any type of impact on a future reader? I really enjoyed the 2.5 years I put into writing and publishing my book Scrambled Eggs. Selfishly I was so proud of the artistic value put into the vision and vibration. It didn’t sell. But I’m ok with that. The total experience of putting words on a page was unexplainable and very rewarding. Mainly because it was 53 pieces of long form poetry that happened to tell the story of a Beatle. Yep John Lennon. Therefore as a writer every sentence becoming a paragraph had to be focused on the creative process of words making music. During those 2.5 years of sculpting Scramble Eggs the imagination was locked in on a story that led to conversations with Yoko, Julian Lennon and because it deals with Alzheimer’s I was blessed with a conversation with Glen Campbell’s family. But the book never sold. I’m ok with that. The experience of words on a page far exceeds the words I’ve spoken. My challenge to you. After spending nearly three decades trying to show people the way with the art of writing, the new step for you to take is to use your speaking voice as a tool. It’s not selfish or conceited. When you’re in a funk. Anxiety is kicking your tail. An awkward day with no straight lines. Use your voice to pick someone up. Then enjoy being in the front seat of the performance. Enlighten someone first. Amazing things happen to your heart.
