ROLLER COASTER OF WRITING


Writing sometimes has extreme ups and downs similar to a roller coaster ride (although I'm scared of most of them, but I'm certainly not scared of writing).  Whenever my friends or relatives turn to me for writing advice or to request my services, a lot of different emotions run through my mind as the words are formed.  With a personal attachment, for instance, a resume typically means that they're not happy with their current employer or they just lost their job.  Anger is usually, then, the emotion I have to control as each word is composed.

For those unknown persons that I write for, it's easier to avoid any emotional attachment; but sometimes, as I'm reading the summary they've provided, I can't help but once again feel the “Roller Coaster Ride of Writing”.  Whether it's sympathy, anger, or even some very positive emotions like happiness or laughter.

Of course, the positive feelings I get are my favorite.  A few years ago, I remember receiving two separate requests from two workers at the same small firm.  Each wanted me to write a poem relating to a man that had worked there for 45 years!  Also, each of their emails came within 15 minutes of each other.  I chose to contact the first requestor and informed her of what had taken place.  She explained that both she and the other gal were simultaneously trying to find an impressive website for writing - in hopes of getting the best written document for their soon-to-be-retired co-worker.  There was so much love that came out of their words (written and spoken) that by the time I started writing the poem, I felt their loving emotions as each rhyme was composed.  Those are the best rides!

Every structured point of my words that I write for others will always carry one or more emotions.  So, whether my writing is helping people get interviews for jobs that they’ve lost or it's helping to put heart into words, there's one destination my "Roller Coaster Ride of Writing" always takes me to in the end: helping others.  Wow, what a ride!!
