Share a Little Sunshine in The Lives of Others

How to Spread Joy by Writing

Joy of Writing

There is joy in writing about things that are going on in your life. There is also joy in writing about the lives of others. It is all about sharing. Think of the feeling you get when you get a card, a letter, an email, or a handwritten note shared across coffee, lunch, dinner, or even time.

Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, plus birthdays and anniversaries are typically days to share written remembrances. Still, recently as I moved and sorted through boxes, I found notes from my mother, who has passed away. It was extraordinary to go through those notes and remember what was going on during the time she wrote the letter to me — what a great way to connect with her memory.

Think about those personal communications you have received over your life and maybe even write a short story sharing your thoughts about what you got. You can tuck it away, or you can share it with others. ~ Marjorie J McDonald

A top-rated movie that I see being shown frequently on television is The Notebook. That movie is about love letters written that the man now shares (by reading) with his wife. She has Alzheimer’s and has trouble remembering even her husband.

It is a very touching story and exciting to see which parts of the old love letters the wife responds to as he is reading to her. The reconnections she can make with her life were terrific and indeed why I think the movie is shown so often and is so popular.

I re-read my letters and cards from mom, and it was like having her across the table from me again. It lessened the feeling of loss at not having her in my life now.

How can you brighten someone else’s day? Share a little sunshine in the lives of others. You might not even know how much they needed your words on the day they received your communication.

Recently one of my favorite cousins has been sending letters. What a treat to open the message, sit, read about her activities, and keep up with her family events. Remembering the things we did at our grandparents when we had family gatherings and fun things we still do due to growing up in the same family. Extraordinary ways to remain connected, and even though we live quite a distance from each other, it seems like I am just next door.

Get going by spreading a bit of written joy today, and see how great it makes you feel.

Look around and decide, topics to write about are everywhere. Whenever you can narrow down your choices it is a good idea.

Opinions are your specific take on a topic, so add how you feel to conversations in writing. Just like you do when you add your idea to an interview or if someone asks you what you think.

Writing is like going to a buffet of food. You like some of the items and others, not so much. You choose the ones that you enjoy.

So come on over to the writing buffet and sample the different types or genres (john rahs) and see what suits you. You might be surprised at the examples that appeal to you.

The hardest part of writing a book is to zero in on the genre (areas of writing) and your topic about that genre. When you want to write about the adventure genre, you will need to drill down to what kind of adventure, which area or way the experience takes place, and more details.

You may already know you want to write about having an adventure in or about _____, and that is a good thing. Any way you can narrow the topic is better for you to stay on target with your writing.

But you won’t know unless you get started. Either way, Begin!

You can make up a story about anything or report the facts about what you see just by looking around you and beginning to make your observations on paper.

When it comes to writing, it is all about your relationship with your reader and the storyline you will take them through.

More than anything, your reader wants to connect with YOU and your content or storyline! When they can click with you and your style, they will return over and over to future writing you make available to them.
