Saturday I was fortunate to attend a really great class on poetry writing and self publishing. When I got there at 9am I was the only one in attendance and when I left I walked out the door with the speaker because I was the only one lucky enough (or smart enought) to attend. When I realized that I would be the only student, I assured the teacher that I would be glad to attend another one of his classes and he quickly assured me that he would be delighted to meet with me one on one. So that is what we did and I was so fortunate to have gone to meet this author. He is a self published writer of poetry on cowboys. I have never written poetry. I am definitely not knowledgable about cowboys and I have never published anything. Yet, this class was so interesting not only because the subject matter turned out to be fascinating but because the teacher was so passionate about what he was doing. He believed in sharing his knowledge and passion and he did that with zeal. He was also very persistent. When he wrote his book of poetry he decided to self publish. He was very honest and told me all of the good and bad points in doing this. He would do it again despite some problems and he encouraged me to look into this if the time came that I wanted to publish my book.
I think what impressed me most about this author was his passion for his subject matter. He loved what he was writing about, had a wealth of knowledge, and could bring his poem alive through the words he used to describe the life of a cowboy. He inspired me to keep on writing but also to always do something that I am passionate about. He also inspired me to share that passion with others.
I often write about transitional times in a woman's life. My stories always have happy endings with the woman becoming self-reliant and strong! I want to encourage women of all ages to follow their heart and their dreams. So often we put everyone else first and my goal is to encourage women to also think of themselves. This is what I want to be the theme of my stories and hopefully will come through in my paintings as well. I know I have the passion and now I need to remain true to my vision and keep on creating. I know by being persistant and never giving up I will reach my goal of living a full exciting creative life that encourages and inspires others to do the same. What are your passions? Are you persistent in following your dreams? I would love to know more about what you love to do.
