Why Do I Write????

I have always written stories most of my life.  Though I had no encouragement from my family.  I wrote in highschool on a 1950 manual typewriter.  I sent off my short stories and started recieving rejection letters.  They never really bothered me.  I was doing what I had to do.  I had stories to tell, so I wrote, mailed them off and worked on another story.

The series I am now working on and will publish, myself, I have had this idea since 1995.  I liked the story and the characters.  I summited the first book in the series and have recieved about 30 rejection letters.  I have written about 5 other novels, but always came back to The Jordan Place Series, so that is the one I am going to piublish first.

I got rejected, got divorced, ended up living in my truck for a few weeks and through all of that, I still continued to write.  It is who I am and what I do.  I have no choice. 

I am very excited cause within a month or so I will have my first novel published in The Jordan Place, Series.

I have been sitting alone in silence re-reading my novel, making notes and edititng.

No one cares if I write.  No one cares about my dreams and goals, except myself and GOD.  So I am going to finish this goal, cause this is who I am.  I am an Indie Writer and proud of it.  Whether anyone supports me or not doesn't matter.

What matters is that I write, if others like my book, I will be thrilled but if no one likes my books that is okay, cause I am a writer and that is what I do.

Rejection doesn't bother me.  The worst rejection was when my ex-husband walked out on me.  His last words to me were  "I love you.  I just don't want to be married to you any more."   What excatly does that mean??

The other worst rejection for me is that my family rejected me, cause my grandfather sexually abused me and they all deny it.

So what I have been through if no one likes my writing I am okay with that.  I am sure there are others out there like me that will enjoy my stories.  If not, I will keep writing cause I am an Indie Writer

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/
