Be Dangerous–Write For the Love of It

The world doesn’t need more safe writing. Write something dangerous — something that challenges the status quo. Something that moves you (maybe it will move others, too). Then, no matter how scared you are, share it.
–Jeff Goins, writer

Dangerous. Such a strong, fear-invoking word.

The Dangerous Book for Boys. Why do you think that book has sold so many copies? Because it hints that we will have a more exciting life by picking up that book. That we’ll toy with the sharp edge of life.

And let’s face it. We all want to live a little more dangerously. To feel that edge of fear and the thrill of being ‘dangerous’ whether it is telling that nosy nellie in the grocery store where to shove her curiosity or doing something more extreme like jumping out of an airplane.

We want to feel.

The exhilaration.

The rush.

As a writer, that feeling is a sweet high that can become so addictive. And as Jeff Goins says there are a lot of things to distract us from writing those things we love and following it, armed with passion. And why? Why?

Why? Why? Why?

So go out there and write what you love. Don’t be distracted. Don’t fear what others are going to think.

Just do it.

Love what you do.

You aren’t a writer if you aren’t writing. Live dangerously. Write with exhilaration under your wings.

How are you going to/How do you write dangerously and inspire the passion?
