Prompt 20: Free-writing 5

I have made it to the twentieth day of the NaBloPoMo challenge. I am both proud and shocked. I am so glad I decided to participate in it. I now write every day. I may not write at the same time everyday, but I do write.

I always look forward to the weekends because the prompt is a free-writing session. That is a good thing for me. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to follow the prompt given perfectly. However, when I am free-writing, I can just write whatever I want.

This blog is about my writing life. That includes my goals, struggles, drafts, or anything of that nature. Being a writer is a lonely path. It is good to be able to be on the writing cheerleading squad to inspire other writers. I am just like any writer. I have days when I can easily write. Other days I feel stuck. 

I wish all of the writers out there the best of luck in all of their endeavors. I will believe in you even if you do not. It is normal to doubt yourself as a writer. That is just part of the writing life. I have one major tip to offer about that. If you let another person read what you wrote and they give you negative feedback, do not be discouraged. It is not a personal attack on you - unless the person is someone who does not like you anyway. That is another matter. 

Whatever you do, please do not give up. You will get where you need to be a writer when the time is right. Do not let that stop you from writing and going for your dreams though.

Until next time...

Happy Writing!
