What I Love About Writing

A few years ago I decided to be a novelist. Writers have been doing this throughout the ages and my decision wasn't exactly original. Many artistic people try walking the road of the creative.

But choosing to write full time was considered by many I knew as either a bold choice or a foolish one. Some said "Have something to fall back on." Others said, "Very brave choice, how will you survive." Some said, "What are you, CRAZY?" And  still others said, "Way to go, I wish I could do that."

I think the most monumental perk of my decision was the minute I said I wanted to write then the ideas, characters, and stories started flowing. It was if they had all be locked behind a wall running in place until I let them out. Once they were out I've had quite a workout getting all the ideas in order quick enough that they don't run out of my brain never to be heard of again.

This was my chance I believe. Choosing to do what I am completely passionate about was the smart thing to do. Was it the well liked choice by others, not really. But I think we have to remember something vitally important...this is OUR life. We are to decide how it is lived. And deciding brings real change to your life.

  1. I couldn't agree with you more. Doing what you are passionate about is what makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning and say "Yes!" It is what makes life exciting and worthwhile. I love that you are doing that and so am I.

  2. Totally agree that taking that decision and going for it is what makes life worthwhile. However there are many that are not as clear as you what they want to do. I help my astrology clients get in touch with what their vocation is when I read their charts and then help them go for it using their strengths.
