Writing Takes Guts

Halftime Speech

Writing Takes Guts

Writing takes a lot of guts

No matter how many times people scream free speech

That phase of logic is impossible with writing

No matter what you write

Someone will love it

And others will hate it

It happens to all of us

I will write out an entire post to share here

Yet I still feel butterflies in my chest

Worry if this piece of literature will be considered presentable

Most of the time it's pretty ok

Not great by any means

Yet still ok

And worth posting

None the less the butterflies return

Keeping us from just pressing submit

And crossing our fingers

It doesn't really matter if you write well

I mean obviously it does

Twilight

Cough

Fifty shades of Gray

Cough Cough

What I mean is if you're a best seller or not

Some will like it and others won't

And that is fine

What we have to do is find the courage within ourselves to express ourselves

Put it out there and show up

Someone will probably hate it

They may even contact a mod or even congress and try to cancel you

You still have to write that story and get it posted

Cause your writing deserves to be read

You must put yourself out there and shine like a full moon

Thank you so much to everyone for reading my posts. As my rant above already stats I still get so scared to write and submit. Yet I'm doing this! Writing has really helped me promote myself. I'm grateful to everyone who reads and helps motivate me to do it again and again. I'm going to submit this now before the butterflies return. I promise I will share more fiction soon. I'm going to slay that dragon too! Until next time take care friends and always be creative!
