Keep Writing No Matter What

 

Sometimes it’s hard to keep writing. There are rejections, writer’s block, criticism and lack of any notice for all the work you do to get published or have some kind of footing in the writing community.

 

It can be difficult times to get through. And it can be pretty disheartening for all the work done but it seems like nobody is interested or cares.

 

But that’s not an excuse to give up on writing. Your desire to write must be stronger than the results you gain from your writing. Your desire to write must be stronger than anything else in the world trying to crush it. Your desire to write must stay strong and keep going even if you aren’t making money from it.

 

You have to be the kind of writer who keeps writing no matter what life throws at you. The kind of writer who will still keep writing and creating and submitting despite all the odds. The kind of writer who is unstoppable.

 

The kind of writer who will keep writing no matter what.

 

It’s not about getting published.

It’s not about earning thousands of dollars from your work and your efforts.

It’s not about fame and popularity.

 

It’s about the writing.

Always has been and always will be.

 

As a writer, you owe it to yourself to heed your muse. Keep creating something, even something new, and keep going. Keep. Writing.

 

Write during the good times.

Write during the bad times.

Write when you are happy and write when you are sad.

 

The only thing guaranteed to you in life is your gift for writing. Your skill with words. Your talent to weave together stories and create amazing works for others to read. That is your power: Your gift to write. That is the one thing that will never be destroyed no matter how many rejections you receive and no matter how long it takes to get published.

 

Opportunity needs to find you working. If you truly believe in yourself and your ability to write, then keep writing. You never know what kind of opportunity will come along while you stay busy writing and writing. So keep it up and keep writing.

 

Things may be bad in your life right now. You may be hurting a lot. But writing will give you the comfort you seek. Just by writing, you will be able to find the relief and comfort that you need. Just by writing, you can get rid of the stress and anxiety. Just by writing, you can find the strength to let go of your burdens and heal your pain.

 

Writing is the one thing you can always have with you when things are not going so great. You may lose everything, but you won’t lose your gift to write. It may disappear for a while, but it will come back. Meanwhile, keep trying to write anyway.

 

Keep writing no matter what. No matter the obstacles, the roadblocks, the failures and criticism. Write. Keep writing. And never stop writing.
