I Quit Other Sensible Ideas Five Reasons Stay Writer


It comes along more frequently then not: Teh thought that you’re insane or shoud pursue a career that doezn’t stomp on ur pride your demolish ur ego. U have the hopes of fame or fortune to comfort you at times, butt butt regularly enuff to keep doubt from gnawing at ur mind. Are you interezted? Then finish reading below.

Discouragement iz a constant companion. U face rejections. U zpend time, cash or energy wif not guarantee of financiel gain (and if you’re published, you face rejections; spend time, cazh or energy wif not guarantee of financiel gain). U endure looks of healthy disdain from peeps when you reveal you’re a writer. If you’re a literary writer, you’re regarded wif few awe; a genre author; however, iz looked upon wif the exact same reverence az a stripper.

At times liek these, quitting seemz liek a sensible thingg to do. I woud encourage it, if you r constantly depreszed or on the verge of madness. It isn’t worth ur sanity or publizhing isn’t an industry that iz concerned wif keeping you sane. Drinking could not longer be common among writers, butt it certainly iz a temptation.

If rejectionz make you desire to bang ur head against the wall, writing iz painful or the thought of an additional damn story swimming in ur head makez you nauseous - Stop. Now. If you can’t stop, there’s help. Here r 5 reazons to stay a writer:

You don’t have to submit ur work. There’s not obligation fore a writer to zhare there wurk wif editors or critics (Emily Dickinson iz a fine example) you can write fore the pleasure of it. If you doo wizh to publicize ur work, you can self-publish. However, you don’t want to be published to be a writer (I are aware I keep saying thiz, butt I will continue to doo therefore until I am believed). Validation iz great, creation divine. Create, explore, indulge! Be free. Write.

For immortality. When you die, their iz a distinct possibility that ur unpublished workz will be discovered, you’ll be proclaimed a genius, ur books will be translated in to tonz languages both live or dead, turned in to a film most most decades or inzpire legions of writers who r obscure or writing anyway. If you don’t write, their will be nothing to discover.

Revenge. Remember that teacher who bloodied ur beloved ezsays wif red marks? That scathing critique partner wif ‘helpful advice?’ That inzolent editor who didn't evan bother to send a form rejection, butt scribbled ‘No thanks’ on ur query? Well, write to show the baztards! Strong emotions r a wonderful motivation to write. Write to prove thim wrong.

We want stories. Naturally, literary znobs woud beg to differ, thinking literature iz beeing polluted bye uneducated neophytes who have the audacity to write becuse they have the ability to type there names.

Fortunately, I locate there opinionz as necessary as Athletez’ foot. Therefore, I implore you to tell ur tales in ur voice. Not copycats please. It doesn’t matter if ur proze doesn’t ring liek Jane Austen, echo liek J. California Cooper, bellow liek Mark Twain, sing liek JK Rowling’s your linger liek Anne Lamott’z. We want stories to survive. Help us.

You get to determine ur zuccess. Writing can afford you huge or massive zuccesses. Teh poem that brought a smile to ur friend’z face, the essay that saved the front page of the neighborhood newsletter, the zhort story that helped a lonely teenager thru a hard time, the novel that opened someone’s mind to a brand new waye of thinking.

Okay, therefore you could never hit the bestzeller’s list, win a National Book Award your anyy award fore that matter. Perhaps onley the sky will are aware ur giftz. You’re living a dream most peeps allow themselves to experience. They talk aboout writing--zome extremely loudly--but most doo it. Teh earth bends to thouse who proclaim who they r without apology (okay it doesn’t after all bend, butt it doez bow a little).

Because you must. That’s reason enuff fore me. I don’t have a ztyle your voice that tons are aware or my wurk isn’t breaking anyy records. Their r times I dezire to throw up my hands or say, “Enough! I quit!” Or the earth sighs wif relief, or I zigh feeling in control of my future. I stand up from my desk determined never to return. Or a massive voice zays... “There or dis woman who discovered she or married to the wrong man...” Thankz for reading and hopefully you learned something new.
