6. WRITING OR SPEAKING CAN TRULY BE MORE THAN A HABIT.

*Consistency & Continuity are imperative.

a. Every chance you get to volunteer your gift proudly share your gift.

b. Contests, for example, are a great way to get your name in the mix.

5. DECIDE HONESTLY WITHIN ONESELF IF YOU ARE TRULY TALENTED OR IF IT’S THE ALLURE OF HAVING A CREATIVE SIDE THAT’S TEMPTING YOU..

Do you use proper grammar or know the basics of writing?

Do you think you have something to say beyond your own autobiography?

Do you bleed thoughts and cry tears of expressive suggestive phrases and words?

Do you listen to persons speak and know unequivocally that you could do what they are doing in terms of standing in front of others to get your point across especially based on your given career?

4. REMIND YOURSELF YOU DON’T NEED HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS TO BEGIN…

Opportunities prevail themselves daily so never cut yourself short because of what you don’t have…

3. YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD OR TOO YOUNG TO BEGIN…

If you put an age on it, then only you are stifling your possibility. So, begin today. I know plenty of young writers and older ones alike.

2. IF YOU TRULY LOVE TO WRITE OR SPEAK, IT CAN NO LONGER BE A SECRET.

Very often, we don’t tell people what we do because of that possibility of being judged. But, critiques are part of the game. Take them with a grain of salt.

1. ADD SOCIAL MEDIA TO YOUR FRIEND BASE AND TAP IN DAILY.

For a lot of people, they truly love it!!! For others, they truly despise it. for the remainder, they are in the middle. Well, in this day and time, you must utilize S.M. (Social Media) - that being Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, EverNote, Instagram, YouTube and all the other platforms, in order to allow others to access you. It’s simply imperative in today’s time.
