"The hardest thing in life is having feelings in your heart that you can't put into words." Pure love quotes

I don't always communicate the way I intend — my words might not flow on the pages the way I feel them.

But when they do, those are my most heartfelt and memorable.

People are in tune with you when they feel your words — whether you voice or write them.

Readers want to experience your words and not just read them.

To achieve this, write at the moment when your words are in sync with your feelings.

Your best stories aren't usually the ones carefully planned. They're impromptu.

So, be genuine with your words, whether you voice or write them. Make your words come alive with feelings.
