Real Words

I just wanted to send out a quick reminder to all of my writer friends that writing is a gift to be shared with others. It is actually one of the best gifts that you can give to someone else this holiday season. You can write love letters, heartfelt Christmas cards, songs, poems, and stories for the people in your life. You can combine your writing with photographs to make memory books that will touch their hearts.

So often we think of writing as our work. However writing is also our life. It’s what we have to share with others. Those others shouldn’t just be the readers that we have come to love. We should also share our writing with those we love who may or may not be our regular readers. Even if your hubby doesn’t read your blog or your mom doesn’t quite “get” your books, these people will appreciate the writing that is written just as a gift for them.

Check out my recent hub 15 Ideas for Using your Writing as a Gift to get some ideas for word-based Christmas gifts that you can give this year.
