If You Write, You Are A Writer

I am so glad that winter is over, least in the southern states.  Yesterday was rainy and cloudy.  Today the sun is out.

I had a truck load of dirt delivered  for the green house.  Someone had to shovel all the dirt into the greenhouse.  Thank the Lord, it was not me.  Then I bought 20 bags of cow manure, for the garden. 

I like to think that I am shoveling the dirt, spreading the cow manure and tilling the garden.  It is not me.  I would like to think I am the one planting the seeds.  it is not me.  Why, because all my life I am looked upon as a helpless female.

Sad to say that I am not that independent.  All my life I was told I couldn't do anything.  Age of 42 years old, divorced I did not know how to pump gas.  That is pathetic. 

I envy  women who can change a tire, put oil in , wherever it goes and put air in the tires.  I am not that person. 

I went to buy wood for the deck.  My boyfriend, thought I was going to help him pick up the wood.

I asked if I was going to get a splinter in my finger.

Then I looked over to my left and there was a woman, older than me, picking up wood all by herself.

My point is, I am not that dependent even though I have to be.

Writing is the only thing, that I can do without anyone telling me I can't do it. 

I feel like myself when I write.  I don't write because I want to.  I write because that is who I am.

I am a writer.  The more time I don't write, the more I get depressed and start feeling bad about myself.

When I am writing, when I am printing out a hard copy of my story and when I publish on Amazon, I know this is what I am suppose to be doing.

Doesn't matter what anyone says.  I am a writer. 

I don't talk about my writing to others, because no one really cares.  They have their own lives and think that writing is my hobby.

Writing is why I am here.  It is like breathing.  If I don't write, I don't breath. 

It is not about money, fame or selling a million books.  It is what I was born to do.  I have a story to tell.  I am going to tell my story.

I have been blogging on and off for years, since like 2013 or so.  It wasn't until now, that I knew I had to blog.  I want to be a blogger and nothing was stopping me, except me.

When I quit my job to write, I decided that I was going to blog and this blog and my other blog 

I am getting hits from all over the world, I decided I am going to write my stories and to blog.

So if you want to write and have no support from family and friends, you are not alone.  If you write, you are a writer.

Don't let anyone stop you from writing.  Do it for you, because that is who you are.  You are a writer. 

Your family or friends might never understand why you write.  That is okay.

If you write, you are a writer.
