A new year....
a new attitude.
Gee that sounds vaguely familiar. Oh, that's right. I said that last year (and probably the year before that too.....)
So what is going to change about this year....what is going to make this year different...this year a success(whether reaching published stage or not....just getting books written and out for editors to read will constitute as a success....heck writing every day instead of slacking off will constitute as a success!!!!!)
The difference this year is simple....I need to write. I want to write. And finally I think I know what I have been doing wrong....gee it's only taken me....well too many years to work out that and it'll probably take me a whole lot of years to work out how to fix it and then I'll find something else that I need to fix...but hey I'm up for the challenge.
The second thing is simple....I can take the rejection....I think that has been my problem all along that I didn't want to be rejected(gee does anyone????) but I guess more simply put I've wanted to write since I knew about books...my mother reminds me often how I used to tell her that I was going to be a writer some day....but until now I've been simply scared...scared that when I finally committed myself to doing something that what would happen if I bombed at it...that the one thing I really wanted in my life (apart from family) I would be a failure at...and I didn't want to be a failure....so simply put...
TO HELL WITH REJECTIONS!!!!!!
There are going to be people everywhere that hate my writing.....but there are going to be a lot of people who love it too....it may take awhile to find the second lot of people...but if a job is worth doing it's worth doing right....and each rejection will be one step closer to reaching my goal!!!!!
