I have been struggling lately (well actually probably my whole life) with the question, is this enough? Am I enough? I'm sure it is a question that lots of people are familiar with. As a someone trying to be a writer it is very difficult to stop this question stop you from working. I have had quite a bit of time recently to try and get some writing done and every time I start I question myself. There is lots of good advice out there. Only people who don't try fail. A failure is just a lesson to help you in the future. But...my mind interrupts me...what if this is not what you are supposed to do. You were never going to be a writer. You are far better at something else. Something you just haven't discovered yet. This doesn't only happen with writing. It happens at least once a day. When I'm working, when I'm speaking to someone who is obviously so much cooler than me and even when I'm at home. Am I handling this argument right? I'm sure someone else would manage to be much calmer and not scream obscenities because her boyfriend is annoying her. However, I think it all boils down to two things. You always need positive thinking, whenever you try something and I am a firm believer in positivity creating results (see poem). Also I enjoy writing. I might not be very good at it. I might never get published. But who cares!! So look in the mirror (this often helps when talking to yourself, somehow you seem less crazy) and shout SCREW YOU to your demons. It works! Do it everyday, just make sure that no one else is standing near by. They might get offended.

AuthorMy name is Sally. I like writing. I also like reading. In fact without books I would be kind of lost. Oh and I also think the internet's not too bad either. Archives
