While I often encounter articles that are less than helpful in providing “meat” in regards to helpful guidance in how to develop my writing, I sometimes find rather concise ones that are good help in focusing. This article is rather helpful (although the site is trying to sell some soap as well) in zeroing in on 5 key elements I would agree are at the heart of a writer’s motivation: to overcome, achieve the goal, win, to create and to have an impact. I think these are great points of reference for making our own writing meaningful and really challenge ourselves to be if not the best, at least have honest reasons to approach our writing.
