THANK YOU!!!

       Wow! Twelve posts of “The Words I would Say” and I’m beginning to marvel. We can actually pull this off! I once tried to imagine how writers felt in two very real situations in their lives. The first was that situation where a writer writes, but readers don’t read what he writes. I’m telling you it rips your heart out. Just the fact that there’s no medium to get his work out sort of kills him slowly from the inside. Every writer desires that his/her work be read; to a large extent, that’s all he/she is really asking for. The second situation is that the writer sees his work being read. Imagine the feeling a writer has when he’s sitting in a bus or in the corner of the park and he sees the person sitting next to him totally engrossed in his book, without that person knowing he is sitting beside the author of that book. I’m telling you it’s a feeling everyone would love to have, it’s one those who have experienced wouldn’t want to trade for anything.
       Sincerely, you have given me that feeling time and time again. Each time I check the counter, or a comment here and another there, each time you read from this blog, this feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment overwhelms me. It’s even better when what you read actually pushes you to the point that change becomes inevitable. Thanks to you, I’ve not felt like the writer whose work was never read, or whose burning desire to write slowly eats him up from the inside. Instead, you have given me the satisfaction and fulfillment attached to knowing someone out there is reading what I wrote. It is one feeling I wouldn’t trade for anything, and I just want to say thank you.
         I hope this dream doesn’t die, and I hope it doesn’t bore you. Because it is a beautiful one, still growing into what I believe it’ll be in a few years. So I’m not saying I’m no longer going to write on here (far from it!) but I just want to take the time out to say thank you. jerryisawriter.blogspot.com still exists because you bothered to check, and permitted it to exist, Jerry is still writing because you have fuelled his desire to. They are both very grateful and are saying thank you.

CHANGE

By
It’s been a long while since I wrote on here, it’s one of those things everyone does or should do every once in a while – re-evaluating priorities. I’ve tried writing other stuff in my ‘little break’ from reality; I’ve written a novel (fictional), I’ve read very little, thought very hard, avoided individuals and basically everyone who cares about me or my existence. I’ve got to admit it was not as I planned it to be, but I do admit that no matter how much you love your own company, it gets lonely every once in a while. Quite frankly, I never thought I’d be writing about this topic. I’ve been wanting to write it, but for some crazy reason I couldn’t. That crazy and insane reason was that I wanted to experience it before I wrote about it. I think you’d agree that that is not such a bad idea. Apart from the reality check, another reason I haven’t written on here is that writing is one way I say what I truly mean (even though it’s not easy). If I didn’t mean something, then I probably wo...

ENCOURAGEMENT

By
Encouragement according to a well known dictionary is support of a kind that inspires confidence and a will to continue or develop. I think the definition fits the word, or doesn’t it? This word in question requires a great need, a man or woman does not need this word unless that need is there. Encouragement. I’m pretty sure this sounds like an everyday word when you say it. I mean, its meaning has never really sunk deep enough for it to have an effect in most people’s lives. We use and misuse this word as much as we like but it goes a long way in doing and undoing in the lives of people.                 “Encouragement”, each time you say or don’t say that word or act it in every instance and with everybody, something goes off or comes on in the lives of those affected. Encouragement could come in lots of forms; it could be a pat on the back, or just a word, or just a hug,...

OBOI... YOU TOO WORRY!

By
Have you ever caught yourself saying that? Or have you ever been told? Maybe not and maybe you’ve heard and maybe you’ve both heard and told yourself. One of the greatest steps to positive change is first of all admitting there’s something wrong with the status quo and that things ought not to be the way they are, and then being open to that change. Until we find something wrong with the way things are, we’d probably be stuck right where we are, without ever moving forward. If you’re not a worrier, then the rest of us can learn a lot from you. But if you are, then this write up is for you, maybe it will encourage and correct you as much as it has me. A few days ago I heard myself say I worry too much and I’ve been told a couple of times. I can recall several months ago when I said I thrived on worry. But talking about change and being open to it made me realize all I was doing was killing myself over nothing. That is exactly what worry does… it kills you. Everyone passes through tryi...
