I know people that don’t write think that it’s easy to do so, and those of us that do write know how hard it can be. We live the struggle of writers block, rejection letters, making time to work on projects, self publishing, selling of projects, getting your projects out into the world through marketing and other sources. I feel like this is an everyday thing with me. It’s not as bad as it used to be, but even when I tell myself to write for me and not anyone else it doesn’t always work out that way. I do want people to read and like my works, but I shouldn’t rely on that to keep me writing.
I should keep writing because I enjoy it, and I really need to get these stories out of my head. As I sit here this very second writing on a blog that I have taken for granted for much to long, I’m thinking about working on the two books sitting on my laptops desktop. Although I don’t feel like a real blogger in anyway, I believe publishing these thoughts help me in the creation of my other projects. Even when writer’s block ruins my night, I can come here and share with everyone the hardships I see in my works. This helps me in the long run to work through the wall that is keeping me from doing what I enjoy.
I am really bad at marketing and getting my novels out into the world. The fan page that I have set up on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/DarkEmpyrean] has a lot of followers, and I hope they enjoy the things I do. I just get so frustrated that I start to rabble on like I am doing in this post. Do I feel like giving up sometimes and deleting my current projects? Yes I do, but I won’t. I know this feeling will pass like it has done in the past, and I will look back on this post as a waste of my time. I will see how I am over reacting and everything will go back to normal with me writing my stories. It is what I truly love to do. Well, that’s all I have for now, and I hope everyone returns to this blog to see how my progress is going. More to Come…
