Motivation In Not So Unlikely Places
I was reminded recently, through a facebook post by kathyerskine , about an article that annemariepace wrote on her blog.
Avoiding the Wanna-Be Trap
If you haven't read it, it is well worth the read. I used to link to this article from an old critique board I ran. I had forgotten about it until Kathy posted a link to it.
Then there is this, posted today by m_stiefvater :
Maggie' Excessively Long Post on Time Management
Put them together and what you get is a swift kick in the...well you know what. It is time to stop being a wanna-be, stop making excuses and be a writer. Regardless.
So, if you are a writer than write. If you are not, then don't. Just make up your mind and do it.
I choose to be a writer, how about you?
P.S. Special thanks to kathyerskine annemariepace and m_stiefvater whether you know it or not you are a constant source of motivation and highly admired as both friends and writers!
