How you take something seemingly so insignificant and craft a story that inspires and motivates another...I don't know you do it, but you've got to teach me.
I have no idea how I do it to be honest, I just start writing and things unfold from there. I never finished high school and ended up getting out into the world and finding lessons, influences and understanding through life itself. It's seemed to work well for me as I'm still alive (although I probably shouldn't be) and feel I've been reasonably successful in life. I have a good one, (life) and actively shape it. So, I don't know, maybe it's all of those things combined that allows me to string a few words together?
I sit down to write sometimes and I am looking for a grand theme to weave into a masterpiece and it never comes.
Stop looking for the masterpiece and just write. looking for perfection is a blockage. Just write with passion, pour yourself into the words. Learn how to spell and how to use punctuation and then just write what flows out. Edit and proof read and before you know it you'll have something you're proud of. Why? Well, because you crafted it, you applied effort and you did your best. That's the definition of a masterpiece to me.
