Writing is more than just putting words on paper—it's an emotional journey, a way to connect deeply with the world and ourselves. For me, every story, every poem, and every character I create is a reflection of life’s complexities. Through my novels 'Yes I Am Mad' and 'What If I Break the Chains,' I’ve explored the intricate layers of the human experience—our struggles, our hopes, and the subtle beauty that lies in the everyday moments. As I continue to write, I realize that storytelling has the power to transcend boundaries. It allows us to break free from societal norms, challenge perceptions, and spark conversations that might otherwise never take place. Writing is where my voice becomes loudest, where creativity flows, and where I can channel my thoughts into something that can move and inspire others. To all the writers and storytellers out there—don’t be afraid to let your words take you on an adventure. The world is full of untold stories, waiting for someone brave enough to tell them. What story are you ready to share with the world today? #WritingCommunity #Storytelling #CreativeWriting #AuthorsOfLinkedIn #InspirationThroughWords #NovelistLife #mariaarifjanjua #contentwriters

What if today was the last chance to share your story with the world? The best writing advice I was ever given was: “Write like you are running out of time.” It doesn’t mean rushing your creative process; it means writing with urgency, as if every word could be your last. Convince your mind to portray beautiful thoughts that might never see the light of day unless they touch paper. Treat your thoughts as messages you'd love the world to remember you by. Imagine your words as a story waiting to be uncovered by a stranger years later, offering the strength, support, or comfort they need. Write like you are running out of time. So, what are you writing today? #WritingCommunity #WriteWithPurpose #Storytelling #ContentCreation #CreativeWriting #PersonalGrowth #Inspiration #AuthenticWriting #WritingTips #ContentStrategy #FreelanceWriting #WritersOfLinkedIn

"Good morning, everyone! Every new day feels like a blank page, full of potential and ready to be written. As a writer, I see each morning as an opportunity to craft new stories, explore fresh ideas, and refine my voice. Writing is a journey—it’s about showing up, embracing the process, and allowing creativity to flow, even on the days when the words come slowly. So today, I’m asking: What story will you write for yourself? Whether it’s through words, actions, or ideas, let’s make it meaningful. Wishing you all a productive and inspired day! #GoodMorning #Writing #Creativity #Storytelling"

Clarity over cluster right? Less is often more in writing. Cutting off unnecessary words is a super power you must wield. When in doubt, trim the fat. Instead of: “She nodded her head in agreement.” Try: “She nodded.” Every extra word slows down your writing and dilutes its impact. Keep it simple, clear, and strong! Do you often catch yourself using unnecessary words? #WritingTips #Storytelling #CreativeWriting #ContentCreation #ClarityInWriting

*Storytelling* Writing and editing have been my specialty super powers for more than twenty years. Forming a story has always intrigued me, especially others' stories. The more I write, the more I realize that everyone does, indeed, have an interesting story. The way the story is written and told, though, varies greatly. Storytelling itself is a wonderful expression of self. At the heart of every good story, vulnerability plays a huge role. If we aren't vulnerable with our stories, how can we help the person reading our words? Where will the words land? While we cannot control how a reader interprets our words, we can certainly write with vulnerable confidence so the story comes alive on the page. I'm curious, how do you ensure that your writing becomes vulnerable on the page? #vulnerablewriting #ghostwriting #bookcoaching #amwriting

Here's an exciting task for new writers who want to level up their skills: Take a walk outside. Observe everything around you—people, animals, buildings, vehicles and nature. Note down every little detail. What do you see, hear, smell, and feel? When you get back, write a piece on your experience. It doesn't have to be perfect. Don't bother about the word count. The goal is to capture the essence of your surroundings. The beauty of observation is it makes your writing richer and more vivid. If you find yourself struggling, it's a sign to deepen your observational skills. Becoming a keen observer is key to becoming a compelling storyteller. #storytelling #writing

One of the best advice I’ve ever received for writers out there has to be this: Sit overnight your ideas and writing. Write down something, and go through it again the next day, and you yourself will be able to identify your areas of improvement. Sometimes you write something so shitty and feel it’s great in the moment or vice versa. I love the fact that it is so similar to life, how we don’t appreciate things at the moment and feel regret later on or how we continue to look at the negative side and realise later how beautiful it was. #WritingTips #WritersJourney #CreativityUnleashed #WritingAdvice #Storytelling #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #PerspectiveShift

📜✨ Dive into the enchanting world of storytelling and the philosophy of writing! 🖋️🌌 Imagine this: you're sitting at your desk, pen in hand, ready to pour your thoughts onto paper. Each stroke of the pen carries with it a piece of your soul, a fragment of your imagination. There's something magical about the act of putting words down on paper, of creating something out of nothing. But in today's digital age, the backspace key holds a power of its own. With just a tap, hundreds of words can disappear into the digital abyss. It's a reminder that every word, every sentence, every story we write is precious. Each one is a testament to our creativity, our passion, our unique voice. So, young writers, don't be afraid to embrace the art of writing by hand. Let your words flow freely, unencumbered by the constraints of technology. Write with purpose, with intention, with heart. And remember, the backspace key may erase your words, but it can never erase the magic of storytelling. 🌟📝 #Storytelling #Writing #PhilosophyOfWriting #Creativity #YoungWriters #HandwrittenWords
