Welcome!

I have always loved writing, and I know that skill of verbal, written expression is not easy for everyone. The goal here at Hesed Communications & Writing Services  is to make that process less stressful.

The blog here is designed to be a source of comfort, resources and focus. A place for a writer to be a writer–flaws, insecurities, hangups and all. And that’s okay too!

The blog has the following categories for easy reference:

Announcements/Services:

All things that are happening on the site or in the immediate future.

Editor’s Reflections:

I freelance edit from time to time and these are musings or things I have encountered while editing other work.

From The Writing Desk:

I’m a writer, and these are reflections and musings from the vantage point of an indie writer and published author.

Motivation:

Every writer from time to time needs to be reminded to keep going.

One Minute Motivation: 

These are quick thoughts about/on writing and its process at 300 words or less.

Podcast:  The Writers’ Block

Here you have access to all the latest and greatest information as it relates to writing:  including challenges, resources and tools. And always, encouragement!

Workshop Overview:

As a writer/blogger/author, I am all about sharing the wealth. Watch this space for links to workshops or talks.

Writer Corner:

Here are interviews with writers that I know and I believe you should know too.

There is also a portion of the site that caters to those just getting started with writing and need my editing services! Feel free to contact with me with any questions you may have and the writing needs you would like met.

Happy Writing!

March 2023: Go!

The decision to write is both simple and complicated.

For every writer brave enough to attach their name to an idea, there a writer that needs a pen name.

For every writer that decides to put their own story on paper, there is writer commissioned to get a family story down.

Some writers need 20 years to get up enough nerve, some need 20 minutes.

Your GO may be different than mine, and that is needed an necessary!

It doesn’t matter how long it takes you to go, as long as you go.

There’s 3 things to remember, and they all involve focus:

1.) Preparing. The biggest question is, “What is it that I want to do? How will I do it?”

2.) Expecting. Be gentle with yourself. Set reasonable deadlines and keep them. Adjust them if necessary.

3.) Follow through. What you set out to do complete. It is now a priority.

With Love & Ink,

March 2023: Go!

The hardest thing is to admit that you have a story in you that is ignored.

Not unwritten, but IGNORED.

For all that is inside you, with you being a storyteller, do you understand how essential it is to tell your story?

Do you realize what will happen if you IGNORE the story on the inside of you? It will become an infection. It will touch and corrupt anything and everything in your life you want to create with.

In the storm of uncertainity, you have to decide which is better (or worse): a story untold or a story ignored?

Encouragement Pages-3/10/2023

What I wrestle with the most is time. Honestly, I think a lot of writers do. Time to write, when to end, making more to write.

In being a good writer you have to be aware of time, but loosely bound by it.

When you say you will write, write.

Time is your start and end point.

Remember you can do what you determine to do–and if all else fails, try again.

Time is to yours.

With Love & Ink,

JBHarris
