Are writers born to write? Some are and I know that I am definitely one of those people. I have always written, whether it was in journals, short stories…notes…I write…
The question is one that rolls around in many forums because I think people these days…equate writing with getting paid…fame and fortune…and when that doesn’t occur they figure…on to the next thing….
Now realistically, all of us expect to make some money from our writing if we actually publish it, but the reality is, most writers also have day jobs…because writing like music producing or any other self motivated endeavor can change on dime…today’s bestselling author can be tomorrow’s sales clerk…but…
Those born to write writers will still plug away…
When I first wrote a book, I heard so many say, “Oh girl, you are on your way now, better call Oprah”, or “I knew you when.”
Often I would scratch my head in puzzlement because as goofy as this may sound, I never thought about it like that…
I am a faith based girl…
I have always known that there were many paths for me to take…
Trails for me to blaze and honey I have blazed some…please believe…
But I knew and know unequivocally that what is meant for me, I will have…
No one, no where can take that which is mine…mama said it, I believe it…
I have not sold a lot of books in terms of some…
But I have always made money on the books I have written…
And I know without a doubt if it is intended for me to sell a lot of books…
Sell they will…
It has already been written…
I write what I want to read…what pours from my heart…
With not one eye towards what people will say…
Because I know that everything is not for everybody…thank goodness for that…
What I know is I have things to say to somebody…and they have told me over and over again that they want to hear it…
And for those I “Write On”…
