Burn It To The Ground

What is it about songs that tell you to go hard, go far, go for it, go all the way that I love so much? Sure, they’re party anthems, but for me they also make me super motivated to work hard, be it in the gym, or at the keyboard. (Plus, I love Nickleback because they’re home town Alberta Boys, and they know how to rock. )
This one in particular, I just love the “That shit makes me batshit crazy” cuz, well, there are things in life that really do make me batshit crazy. LOL
Writers will tell you they put blood sweat and tears into their work, but to be honest, it doesn’t always happen. I’ve read stories that left me cold, and when that happens I often think that the author just didn’t put enough into it somehow. I know there are stories that I’ve written, that I’ve had published that I wish I’d put more-effort isn’t the right word, because there is always effort. Just that I’d put more, period. More of myself, more emotion, more energy into them. I firmly believe that when a writer puts their energy, and their emotion into the work, that it comes across on the page. That doesn’t mean I have to have experienced things, shit I write about falling in love, yet I’ve never been in love. But I do hope to be someday, and that hope goes into my stories.
The “We’ve got no fear, no doubt, all in- balls out” line of the song somehow just struck a chord about that and writing. If you want to write a good story, one that will make the reader feel emotion, then you have to put emotion into it. No holding back. SO…I’m keeping that in mind with my current stories and going hard.
Hopefully it will pay off. 🙂
