Your Writing Muscles


Writers have stories to tell with the passion and compulsion to share them. Like athletes at work, it takes mind, body, and motivation to achieve success.

Personality, patience, and mental muscles suit you for a type of writing. Discovering strengths in terms of how long you like to write and ways you generate writing may help you decide what to write. 

Story writers develop a curiosity to learn the variety of ways individuals respond to situations.  Preferences include writing fact, fantasy, science fiction,  or a combination.

Novelists have marathon muscles.  They know a long road extends ahead and prepare themselves both physically and mentally for chapter after chapter.

Essayists and short story writers have shorter jaunts.

Poets have a sprinter's mindset.

Writers have the ability to develop all muscle groups and challenge themselves in a variety of genres.  Experience teaches which suits your style.

Creative Write: Write about your potential for novels, short stories, essays or poetry.  Cross train by experimenting and experiencing a variety.
