I’m going to Write until my Hands Hurt.
I made a decision. I’m going to write until my hands hurt. I’m going to write until my blog is filled with 100’s of entries. I’m going to write until someone says take this check and go write something. I’m going to write until writing pays my bills. I’m going to write until the money I make from writing replaces my salary. I want out of this 9 to 5. I really like my job. I am making great strides in my career. I am good at my job. I make a good salary. It allows me to have what I want. Still it’s not what I love to do. I love to write. It’s what I do for free. I write while riding the train. I get up at night and write at 3am. I write in the park. I love to write. But I haven’t been committed to it. It is possible to love and not be committed. I took my passion for granted. I let it sit in the corner while I did other things. I paid it no attention at times. Eventually, the passion was gone. My career moved in and got comfortable. Contentment curled up next to me on the couch. People started knocking on my door that had no respect for my passion. I strayed.
I’ve learned it takes more than a decision. It takes a commitment. I’m tired of talking about writing a book. I’m tired of talking about writing to different magazines and TV shows to voice my opinions and provide editorials. I’ve made a decision to do it. I’m pursuing what I love to do. So I’m writing until….well until I can pay someone to write for me. So if you have passions then join me. Let’s do it. What are you doing with your passion? Do you have something you love to do but don’t feel like you are good at it? So do a lot of other people. What are you going to do about it is the important question. If you love to do it then half the battle is already won. Take it a step further and take a class, join a group relating to your interest, or start a group relating to your interest. Use your job to help you chase your dream. So all comments are always welcomed but if you are a writer, poet, author, or publisher, please leave your contact info. I look forward to working with you.
