Feels and Thinks

Speaking of Inner Voice in the previous post, it occurs to me that great writers have learned to listen to their Inner Voice for the Great "American" Novel did not write itself. Words spewing out with such care and precision, with such passion and great thinking, it could only come from a deeper source than a rambling mind. To write what one truly feels and thinks. Yes, "feels and thinks", for here is a sparkling thought: the heart and mind can work hand in hand. The heart know what it wants and it produces the Inner Voice but only the mind can put the words to work so to speak. The mind is a brilliant tool that you should use to achieve what the heart wants.

So here is my quest, as writer, to utilise the mind in order to achieve what the Inner Voice seeks. To many a skeptic out there, it sounds crazy and out of this world, but what is a skeptic anyway, but a mind that has lost its ways and grasps at what others say? Its judgmental and overbearing to say the least. The skeptic is the crowd. Skeptic has a role - a good role at that too - to create awareness. If you didn't know what you were doing right, just ask your biggest critic.

Inner Writer awakens and out of the compost a phoenix shall arise.
