Last week I had an inspiring tweetversation with one of my twitter friends. She was delighted to discover that I am an author because she is an aspiring author working diligently on her children’s book. My fellow tweeter confessed that she felt stuck in her writing process. I offered some encouragement:
“You’ll have good days and sticky days. Don’t give up. There are people waiting to read your story.”
She responded:
“Thank you!! Coming from you it means a lot. :) I’ll keep trying no matter what!!!”
Although I encouraged her to write, she encouraged me to be encouraging. Her gratefulness reminds me that it’s okay to reach out and extend kind words to people. Words are powerful, and you never know how they will change the trajectory of someone’s life.
