Today I vow to take writing seriously. To not be bogged down by the need to publish the world's best novel. To learn everything I can about writing, to write and to not let myself be distracted with other activities in life and by my own doubts.
I realized this morning that the only thing I truly excel at is writing. Writing and teaching, but isn't that really the same thing? Yet I keep trying to do all this other stupid stuff in my life because I guess I don't feel like writing (or teaching) is really a worthwhile career. Everyone admires my writing skills and is always saying I should write a book, but I just can't seem to take it seriously. I feel like I can't be a success at it, but I've been a success at whatever I've put 100% effort into so why not this?
