Thanks again for the gritty pep talk. I'm working again at the writing, pumping out articles. I need to, but more importantly, this is something I want to do.
Yep, tough skin is needed. Hardest is the relatives, but that is few. Sometimes, it's only the belief system that differs, so I take it for what it is. I have learned over the years to accept citicism and learn from it. It wasn't always easy, but that's growing.
Yes! Finally out of the not spring yet season! Now, dealing with seasonal allergies. Still, longer, warmer days revigorate!
Reminds me of what Homer Hickam said about a novel made into a movie simultaneously. About as likely as swimming in a lightning storm, being struck by lightning and biten by a shark at the same time. And about as enjoyable.
I wish I could be that brave. I agree and always come back to - Seat on Chair. You can only be a writer if you write.
A sure job as a nurse and also feeling needed kept me at nursing. I am inspired every day. My latest job is my new muse.
Reading about writing and authors stories encourages me, too. I dream now of encouraging the teens I see every day to write. Would the high school want a nurse to sponsor a writers club? If I stay at school nursing... the pay is making me want to make money writing. Sometimes, that's a motivator, as well.
I enjoy reading your articles.
Writing now for the love of writing. Yes, I would like to make money, but I decided to just embrace this last year on Medium.
