All writing, and speechwriting is no exception, starts in the same place, in your head. It’s just you and the blank page or screen. In the beginning as the good book says, was …….the word.

Where the words come from, where the source of the inspiration for that stirring speech originate, who knows. Say for instance that you have not decided to employ the talents of a speechwriter at Speech-writers.com. Where then do you start looking for that essential inspiration?

Writers are supposed to enjoy some kind of sanctuary. Is it better to be staring out across a vista of wonderful scenery or locked inside a white room with no windows? Do you need an attic room of your own or a cupboard under the stairs? Retire to the garden shed or find a quiet spot in the library?

The fact is the only place your speech is going to come from is inside you. In that head of yours. Don’t wait for inspiration, it never comes. Make your mark, start by saying something, anything. You can change it later.

What do you want to say? The more you write, the easier it gets and the better it will be. And if anyone should know, it should be us at www.speech-writers.com. We’ve being writing speeches for a lot longer than most and we haven’t run out of words yet…..

‘There are nine million bicycles in Beijing’, Kate Melua sings rather beautifully. It’s a fact, a statistic, a figure. But you are listening. Whether is true or not (if I was the writer, I’d have checked this out by now), it has your attention. I mean, you want to know exactly where the song is going and how that fact ties in.

The attention getter is up and running. Speeches aren’t generally sung. Now that might add a totally new dimension to my job at www.speech-writers.com. They’re delivered by nervous people doing everything they can do to give the impression of being in control. So that attention getter is all the more important. Get that right and everyone wants to know where you are headed. They are listening. They might even be laughing (with you, of course)…..but then that is another story.
