Should I write at all? That has been one of my questions to myself for a long time. When I was younger I received rejection letters with a promise or hope within them. I even had one publishing company tag with an author in CA for help. Now it seems like a three wing circus to get anyone’s attention. A few months ago I got an email from an agent who told me a raw ugly truth and that was, “if you are not well known it is next to impossible to get a children’s book published. It makes sense to me because I known it is all about money but it is very hard at 61 for me to think I have a chance now.
The question, “Should I write at all”? stood out to me. Writing had always been my passion, since high school. I was raised by a Narcissistic mother who would tell me I would never amount to anything and that I wasn’t good enough, etc… She’d also blurted out one day, that I would be be a writer because I couldn’t write good enough to write a book or to write anything that people may read. She’d kept on and on theft day attacking me verbally and emotionally acting like she was in shock that I would ever consider such a stupid thing as too be a writer. After that, I never pursued writing again until five months ago when I started this blog.
I experienced freedom one I could put a name to her actions and Nasty ways of treating me. After I knew that, the lightbulb came on and it was a feeling I’ve yet to describe (but I will write about it soon… LoL ๐)…
The passion I had way back in the day, for writing came in like a whirlwind and seemed doubled in the “drive” that I had… Pushing me add I never have to think about what I want to write only about what I freely begin to write Ace it flows naturally, so naturally it scared me but I still pushed through.
I’ve come a long way so thank you for asking these questions so I could see exactly how far I’ve come from that place!

Should I write at all? I like that question too – Every time I write something I think, what’s the point? I’ve thought about stopping – writing isn’t going to get me anywhere. But it has turned into something that helps me with my days and keeps my mood up. So, if anything, I keep writing to ease my mind and give me focus. I guess I write for me ๐
