My Ambitions as a Writer

Stay diligent. Stay focused. Do not succumb to self pity or doubt.

That nagging feeling in the back of your mind, the one that whispers to you "Give up."
The one that so plainly points out the irrationality of your actions.
The one so adamant to convince you that, you are merely wasting time you do not have.
Ignore that. That is only your fear.

Your insincere Fear.

Your fear of Rejection, your fear of Disappointment, your fear of Failure, your fear of Success.

It is only your insincere fear.

It, by no means, truly believes a single thing that it has said.

So write on, write on, the chapter is almost finished, that paragraph almost done, that sentence is almost perfect.
Don't stop! GO!

Go!
Move!
Grow!
Crawl!
Push!
Pull!
Beg!
Plead!
Pray!
Cry!
Laugh!
Love!

Live, and die... but do it all on that page.

And when you're done... do it again.

Tell your story.

  2. Hey Marsha! Thanks for the post and yeah I totally agree. I have found lately that writing in itself, in my opinion, has an alarmingly high number of parallels to the challenges and obstacles of real life. I think it offers a great new way to really explore the world around you,as well as learn even more about your personal self, than one would have ever previously imagined. At least I know that's been my experience.

  3. I agree with Marsha! It goes for anything that make you afraid or second guess yourself. As scary as it all might be, you have to keep going.
