I Am A Writer

I am a writer and do not care what others think.  I do not compare myself to other writers or to other people.  If I start comparing myself to others, I will always look like a failure.  I need to focus on my writing and do what I think I need to to.  Someone will always be better than me.  Somone will always be thinking of writing that book.  So in a way I will be further along than others, but others will be ahead of me.

All I can do is to write my stories and do my best.  I am not looking at others for approval.  The person that I want approval from the most, will only disappoint me.  So I am doing my best and that is all I can do.

I am a writer and no one can take that away from me.

The next time you are doubting yourself or are a bit depressed, know that you are a writer and be proud of that.  Be proud that you wrote today.  Celebrate or treat yourself to something after you get done writing.  A piece of chocolate, watching your favorite show. 

Be proud that you are a writer.  Embrace it.

I am a writer.  I write the Zombie Zoo Series.

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning. Let us follow our dream together check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ Write Something Today
