My head spins.
My demons, my insecurities, things I have been told before tell me that I am no good, that I can't write to save my life, that my job to provide for my son is a huge, fucking joke.
Just do it, dammit!
You know you are better than this, you've come so far and you are still afloat. Remember the tattoo you have? You might not know your plans but God does and so far He has dropped you.
Write the damn book!
Stop doubting yourself!
You are worth it, your life is wonderfully interesting, and your wonderful, wild imagination should be a playground for the world.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

- I think I could love you, even though you didn't have a good education.
- You're not capable.
- We doubted that you'd bond with your son.
- When are you getting a real job?
- You have readers in Kuwait? So what?
Just do it, dammit!

How are you writing blog posts with an old typewriter?!?
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes!!
ReplyDeleteWrite on! Write hard! You are going to rock this!
write! write! write! write!
ReplyDeleteYou can dooooo eeeeettt!
I swear you better not wait until I am on my death bed or I will get up just enough energy to grab my cane and beat you with it. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you are a fabulous writer. Then write a sentence and keep the flow going. If you get stuck again b/c of those damn demons, get back up, repeat "I am a fabulous writer" or "F the po-lice" whatever you need for a boost. I am not getting any younger woman! Some of us having been waiting a long time to see a book in the store written by you! Love you.
ReplyDeleteWrite! Write! Write! Rejoice that you don't have to write 22 pages of school papers and revise a Thesis and that you actually have time to write something enjoyable!
