Writing, it fills up my life. I used to write essays for other people at school and got caught because of my unique style. The pain my friend I had done it for when she was asked by our English teacher what did she mean by the interaction between the characters was debilitating.

You know how you get countless ads on Facebook these days, well one I got was for a Writing poster, the quotes are brilliant, so I thought I would pass them onto you:

1. Writing is a calling, a beckon of the Voice within to be written.
2. The Art to Writing is to write like Art.
3. Don’t overthink it, just sit down and write.
4. If you keep coming back to it, It’s worth writing about.
5. Great tides of Words rise within and all you can do write until none are left.
6. Writing is a struggle. With Words. With Blank Space. With one’s very self.
7. It doesn’t need to be published or polished. Or perfect. It does need to be written.
8. Everything you experience fuels your writing. Pay attention. Take notes. Snap pictures. Don’t be creepy.
9. You are a writer, you were touched by the divine. For who else can create worlds from nothing and life by mere thought.
10. Either writing is a priority or it ceases to exist.
11. Inspire yourself Daily.
12. Don’t dismiss the power of caffeine and headphones to combat writer’s block.
13. Be prepared to sacrifice great pieces of writing and near-perfect words – parts of you that bled to get on the page.
14. Write equally when you have no ideas as to when you have a hundred.
15. Embrace the Muse. Whenever. Wherever. However.
16. Trust your Inner Voice. It’s the better writer.
17. Your job is to put words on paper. Make them the right ones later.
18. Write honestly. Write Fearlessly. Write True. But above all, Write.

Today’s playlist covers many decades. We begin with spoken word by Anais Nin, then stay back in the last century with David Bowie. We rap it out with Missy Elliot then move to one of Australia’s greatest unknown singers Murray Kyle. Moving up to today with Billie Ellish then way back to Thunderclap Newman, and completing with Michael Jackson: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJlQ3F9bKYruTKuN-bJunwUnFYbmt31aV
