I bet millions of people have checked out this blog in the MONTHS since I last wrote on it. And then they left.
Yup, they read the title, realized I was serious about this whole not writing stuff, and left.
I don't blame them.
One could say that I took my own words too seriously. Yup. I seriously decided I wouldn't write anymore (dammit!) and seriously took steps to make sure I didn't.
But one would be wrong.
You see, I didn't write here because I didn't take my writing seriously. I had decided NOT to be serious about my writing. As a result, I didn't write. Day after day, night after night, opportunity after opportunity, I let the voices in my head talk my out of writing.
Not anymore.
I vow, from this day forward, to take my writing seriously. Seriously, I do. I changed my profile. I quit my job. I have been slowly weeding all sorts of distractions out of my life to make sure I have room for writing, to make sure I have time to take writing seriously.
So, if you've checked back here a few times, come again. I'll be here. And if you just happened on this blog by chance, come back.
Or don't. Either way, I'm seriously writing.
Insert cliche about the tempering of the sword here. Learn, adapt, and get to work. We don't do this for recognition. We do it because we can't not do it.
ReplyDeleteCheryl you don't want or feel like writing then don't. And when you do, then do. Last I checked it was not a mandatory Olympic event.
