Your mission, if you choose to accept it

A couple of posts ago, I wrote about posting my mission statement, which is part of my two year writing business plan. I fine-tuned it a bit this morning, so here it is:br /br /emTo tell stories that bring emotion to the audience, whether it’s laughter or tears, and to make a living from the words./embr /br /It looks simple, laying here on the page, but it’s not. Take the first part, “To tell stories.” Okay, that might be easy. After all, every single one of us tells stories at some point in our lives. We recount what happened to us at the grocery store, we share our mishaps and our good deeds. It’s so very easy.br /br /But add to it “that bring emotion to the audience” and you have a whole other thing. The number of writers who can make me laugh or cry or just plain feel is limited — Jennifer Crusie, Stephen King, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Margaret Mitchell (because honestly, who doesn’t cry when Rhett leaves Scarlett), the writers of iGrey’s Anatomy/i (Oh, they’re good.

I don’t think that’s an easy task.br /br /Then there’s the last part of the mission statement, “to make a living from the words.” Some would say that’s the hardest part, but I don’t think so. I believe, deep in my heart, that if I create the first — stories that bring emotion — the second will come. I can’t explain why I believe it, but I do.br /br /So there you have it — my mission, if I choose to accept it. And I do choose to accept it. Now I just hope the computer doesn’t self destruct!!
