You Are Not Alone
Like all writers, I too am encouraged by
affirmation.
That thankful friend who said he’d read my
blog post and was benefited by it.
That guy sitting in a corner halfway across
the world emailing me he was inspired by what I’d written.
The problem is, when these affirmations don’t
come, I sometimes feel worthless.
That what I wrote didn’t matter, and I should stop.
That what I wrote didn’t matter, and I should stop.
And I lose the will to continue writing.
But now, I surrender.
I’m throwing away my dependence on
glorification.
I’m bringing back my innocent, pure love for
putting words on paper.
I’m writing for the love of writing!
You, too, should do it.
Never mind the page views, comments, or
re-tweets.
Worry not on getting that big book publishing
contract.
By our gifts we are called for a higher
calling... a mission.
To question.
To create.
To express.
You are not alone.
We are writers. We write.
We will not die with all our thoughts inside us.
