...But do it anyway (read all 7 entries…)
What it's all about. 2 years ago

This is the second half of my plan to pursue what I love (the other half being Aim to make a living…)

In his book On Writing Stephen King says there are two important things you need to do in order to become a good writer: read a lot and write a lot. That’s where this goal fits in.

I write because I love to. If I could never make a living out of it, if there was no one to read it, I’d still write. That’s some of what this goal is about.

The rest is about having the discipline to sit down and write regularly, no matter what’s going on. That’s a tough goal, maybe an impossible goal. I’m only human, after all, and there’s other things and other people in my life that demand attention. Nevertheless, I want to come as near as I can to succeeding, to writing every day, if I can. This is about respecting myself not only by doing what I love, but doing it to the absolute best of my abilities for no one other than me.

Well in my mind I'm still half elf...

...but even they make mistakes occasionally, or so I hear.

Thank you. I’m determined to give this my best.

i know how you feel

i write for the same reasons and the only place it goes is onto numerous postal site where nobody looks at it or reads it i would give you the link but at the moment i’m reformating the site so it not fit for nay mortals or half mortals eyes so be paitent and i may post it here eventual if your intrested.

hey i’ll tell you what i’ll read your work i am always up for some more reding material.

Yes!

You deserve this—to commit to yourself and your craft. And I’d love to read, as well. If you’ll send it, post it to an online journal/blog, or [fill in the blank with whatever works], I’d love to read your writing.

Thank you.

I really appreciate the support.

I write mostly fantasy and have a page here if you’re interested. It’s mostly early stuff, although the last chapter on the long story is very recent.

I’m refraining from posting any other recent things because I hope to get them published at some stage.
