Do you ever find yourself broken? Ready to give up and quit writing? You just feel so put down, like no one will ever read your book and so you're just not going to write it. . .
You feel like nothing is going forward and you will never get published. you want to lay down your pen. . . or type writer. . or computer . . . or whatever you write your stories with. . . and you feel that there is no point in writing. What is the point in writing?
The point of writing is telling stories that only you can tell. Making somebody smile because they can escape from the real world and read the stories us authors write.
But though I know that, and I know why I write. . . there are times I feel like giving up. Never writing again. There was a time when I thought I would never write again. But people kept pushing me on. Kept telling me to go forward and write away. Writing a story isn't just for the readers. When I write my book I am in the book. I escape into my own world. So when you feel like putting the pen (. . .etc) down, just remember these to songs:
Hero ~ Mariah Carey

and
Broken ~ Lindsey Haun

Most people associate these songs, and songs like them with life in general. But the singers never specified. . . why should we? These songs, alone with 'The climb" By Miley Cyrus, can be associated with anything. Including writers!
I wish everyone the best Climb with their writing!
I think the best reason for finishing a book is that we love the characters and the story so much that we want to see it finished--we want it to be one of those books we love that we can read over and over. Just because we're the ones writing it doesn't make a difference, in fact, it even makes it better, because we know the book better than anyone else can. :D
ReplyDeleteBUT I CAN'T WAIT TO READ YOUR BOOKS, SO KEEP GOING FOR THAT TOO!!! :D :D
Yes I've felt like that (only not with writing a book) and I like both of those songs.
