I love Stephen King's book, On Writing, and today I share a quote from it. I completely believe that our gifts and talents as writers are meant to be used to make the world a better place.

We are entertainers, teachers, encouragers, pioneers, and so much more! Your words need to be heard. People need you to encourage them - to hang in there, to keep going, to share a helping hand, to stand up, to relax, to think about more than what's for dinner and the weekend's plans.

Your voice is important. And when you use it to help and encourage other people, you are bound to enrich and improve your own life as well. Just like Stephen King says.
