Ponderings on Writing

You know what the hardest part about writing is?
I’m not sure.
I can’t say which part of it is the hardest;
Creating the writing, Editing the writing, Dealing with criticism, Keeping the feeling you had when writing, or just sitting down to make time to write.

You know what it means to be a writer?
I’m not sure.
I can’t say what is the essence of a writer;
Putting words onto a page in a meaningful order, Crafting a world and characters of your own, Wondering how much of yourself to reveal or hide in the writing, Springing back from any setback, Having knowledge of the craft, or reaching the right audience.

You know what?
I don’t know.
But that won’t stop me from writing;
Words and Stories are the way we make sense of the world, the way we experience our own adventures, and the way we connect to others.

Keep doing what feels right. The rest will fall in place.
