Seven Degrees Left of Center

Influence and Encouragement

When you share your writing, it will influence those who read it to some degree. I mean, that is what writing is about, isn't it? The art of communicating influence?

Influence is a topic I am learning. What am I trying to influence in Seven Degrees Left of Center? The short sentence, "Encouragement to be patient in healing and brave in sharing the experience." However, that is starting to take on a different goal. After five years, my brain has recovered and adapted as much as it is going to.

My entries in this blog are mostly self-serving. I've been encouraging myself to keep writing. Now, I would like to encourage others to write and share their experiences. I know this blog doesn't get many views. But, if you are reading this, I encourage you to write with the knowledge that what you write and share will influence someone along the way.

It is scary to share thoughts and experiences. It is rewarding to know someone might be encouraged because of it.
