Mary Shelly Wrote Frankenstein with Pen & Ink

 




I have been rejected by every publisher in New York City.  I went to many writer's conferences and have spent thousands of dollars.  I have taken writing courses on-line.  I have joined writer's groups on Facebook.

This is what I have learned:

Write what you want.  Stop listening to others.  I have learned that no one cares if I write or not.  No one cares that I blog or not.  Writing does not effect anyone else's life except yours.

You might say, what about my family and my children.  I have a job.   Your family and children are doing their own thing.  Your husband, wife, partner doesn't have hobbies or hang out with their friends?  Your children play with other children.  

If you want to write, then write.  Don't talk about it, don't tell anyone, just write, whether it is long hand or on a computer.

I am a Self-Published Author on Amazon.  My Books  I have over 75 E-Books and Print Books.  

I watched a movie about the Author that wrote the book of Frankenstein, Mary Shelly.

She wrote the book Frankenstein in the 17th Century, where there was only pen and ink.  She had to write with pen and ink and be careful not to smear the ink.  She wrote by candle light.  There was no electric lights.  She was poor.  She had a child die after is was only a few month old.  She had no money.  She stayed in a drafty Castle and had to be cold and probably didn't eat well.  YET she wrote Frankenstein without complaining, whining or talking about what she was writing.  She wrote and she finished the book.  Which then was published under her husbands name.

So think about Mary Shelly when you don't want to write, or your hand hurts or you start feeling sorry for yourself.

Think how Mary Shelly wrote the Book Frankenstein.

I downloaded a picture of Mary Shelly and have the picture where I can see it everyday.

If Mary Shelly can write with Pen and Ink in a drafty castle without any money, I know I can write and finish my book on the computer.

Just something to think about.

If you want to write, write.  It is that simple.

I need to go write now.
