Writing practice provides the opportunity to plant seeds on a regular basis. This act of optimism becomes an investment in our writing future. We sow words to sprout sentences. They grow into paragraphs and essays, poems or stories. While we share our harvests with others for their enrichment, it's always about the selection of seeds.
Our seeding of words does not produce quick rewards. We learn patience, perseverence and perspective to create pieces of writing just as seeds need water, soil and sunshine.
Watching that first cotelydon rise from the page gives the greatest pleasure.
Take time to scatter the seeds you wish to nurture today. Create a metaphor for your writing process.
