@ Jacki Yes, I’m a copywriter and brand consultant 🙂    I think it’s fantastic you study copy to help you with your blogging.  When I started learning copy, it really helped me tighten up my other writing as well.

Great idea about the ‘free writing’ when you sit in front of your computer.  I find I have to use that exercise a LOT!

@ Midge That was beautifully put.  I’m glad you have decided to share your writings with the world, I’ll bet you have a nice audience enjoying what you write!

@ Ken  Using your writing power to bring good into the world – I love it.  The fact that you’re passionate about it makes me think this must be a true calling for you as well.
Great stuff guys, it’s really inspiring to hear what motivates others to write.  There were times when I first started that I was scared to write.  It felt like I was baring my soul to the universe… and what if the universe didn’t like it?

But after a while having a positive  driving inspiration helped me push past the fear.   My hope is if someone is reading this who struggles with writing anxiety, they’ll find a reason that resonates with them – and start filling up a blank page!

Keep ’em coming 🙂
