These are lines that stuck out to me when reading a book called Wild Mind, Living the writers life. By, Natalie Goldberg. (Part 8)
- After a while you realize that no one cares that much. Then u find another reason: money, u can dream on that while the bills pile up. Then you think: well I'm the sensitive type. I have to express myself. Do me a favor don't be so sensitive. Be tough, it will get u further along when u get rejected. Finally, u just do it because u happen to like it. ( I do it because I like it)
- I'm not waiting around 4 n-e-one 2 give me the signal. We just have 2 step forward with our hearts & act. That's also the best place to come from as writer. (That's y I started this blog)
- We are going to write down what we think. Right or wrong doesn't matter. We are standing up & saying who we are. (Be fearless)
- I do this not 4 u. I do it so I can shut up the gnawing, dimwitted critics in my brain who tell me I am nothing. (I can relate)
- Make positive effort for the good. Even though the monsters are screaming in your face, get over there-to the desk, the couch, the cafe & begin to write. (I often have to push myself in this very same way.)
- It leads no where. It's a dumb thing to major in, It's good to be dumb it allows us to love something or someone 4 no reason. That's the best kind of love. Simple, direct, to the point. (It truly is I think you can experience this more than once in life.)
