Stress can produce masterpieces

How many of us have written hour after hour and afterwards see how much we have accomplished. You didn't worry about grammar or spelling. You had to write whatever was on your mind or in your heart. You could have been happy, sad, mad, troubled, thankful, or joyous. You just needed to release your heart of those things that were brewing inside.

Some of the best writing have come during times of duress. Maybe you didn't feel like doing it. Perhaps it wasn't the right time but you got out a pad, paper, or wordprocessor and wrote away. It may not have any meaning at first but when you read it at another time it has a connection with what you are trying to convey to your audience. People like writing that is original and heartfelt. One reward of writing is when it connects with your audience.

Don't minimize those times when life doesn't seem all that great. Get out your pad! Get on that wordprocessor and write away! It can be the beginning of speaking to others who are experiencing those tough times.
