No One Cares If You Write

This may be harsh to hear, but the truth is:

No One Cares If You Write




If don't write, it will not effect people around you.  Their lives will go on.  Of course if you start making money, everyone will care.  But when you are up early or staying up late, staring at a computer screen, no one cares.

I got no support from my family.  Zip, None.  My parents showed no interest in my writing and to this day has never read anything  I wrote.  My mother said  "Why would anyone want to sit in a room and listen to someone talk about writing?  That would be so boring?"

My Answer was.  "Why would a much of women want to sit around and quilt in a room for hours with their sewing machines.  That sounds boring."

So you have to develop thick skin if you want to be a writer.  Everyone is a critic.  They will tell you what is wrong with the book, before they will tell you what they like about the book. 

Wives, husbands, friends, family members, don't care.  They have their lives.

I learned this early on, so I have developed an attitude, I don't care what others think. 
I know that I am different.  I think different and I see the world different.  That is okay.

So if you are waiting for someone to pat you on the back, and tell you how great you are,  you might be waiting awhile.  Then once you are published, people will leave comments that you are not going to like.

I write because that is who I am.  I write the stories I want to tell.

You have stories that only you can tell.

Write your story.  Someone is waiting to read your story.

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

If you write, you are a writer

Write your story, and show the world, they were wrong.

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/

Writing Everyday

I am in awe of people who can write everyday.  I have heard that for years.  Write Everyday, even if it is just one word, one sentence or 1,000 words. I believe it.  Writer's write.  It is that simple. There are people on Facebook, posting their word count.  I am in awe of those people. I try to write everyday, but it does not always work out that way for me. I guess what I am trying to say, it that don't feel bad if you don't write for one day.  You are still a writer. I know that this is NANO month and you are suppose to write everyday and at the end of the month, have written 50,000 words.  Which is awesome.  The way I am going, I am not going to make it.  I have no excuse but I have headaches everyday and I mean everyday.  Some days are better than others.  A lot of the headaches are sinus headaches.  I am not using this as an excuse.  I know that others have worse problems in their lives. So if you are a...
