WRITING

The Inconvenient Truth of Being a Writer

It’s not all fun and games

Like most life choices, writing can be an interest, a hobby, a career, or a play-thing.

While the basic understanding of the profession seems simple enough, the mechanics and mental fortitude required by those who choose to produce the written word is often left unsaid — and subject to interpretation.

The potential to become discouraged, disappointed, and frustrated is very high.

Fortunately, those of us experiencing stress and doubt about our work have discovered we’re not alone — in fact, we’re in pretty good company.

In most cases, we find comfort in the commiseration of our peers.

And by sharing our own failures — and learning from the struggles of others generous enough to chime in — we’re able to explore new methods of developing our skills and talent in a way that’s just right for us.

Fair warning: You may find — in some cases and for some people — that writing is more like a game with self-designed rules intended to defend a heavily-guarded fortress with a deep moat — and the drawbridge is locked in the up position.

If you bump up against this type of barrier, you have a decision to make. You can either:

Shift your approach and find a more welcoming and congenial path to pursue. There’s more than one road to success, and many trails have been blazed through uncharted territory. Keep searching, stay positive, and be on the lookout for friendly cohorts. Besides, you never know if the secrets hidden inside the fortress are worth the effort, because they may be of no use or value to you at all.

Or if you’re insistent on charging the castle …

Seek out those who have learned how to build a bridge and breach the perimeter. If you’re convinced your dreams of writing success will be fulfilled by scaling the wall and scouring the brains of the protective, by all means gather your skills and tools and give it your best shot. Maybe those who are cautious in divulging their wisdom could discover you have a few great ideas to share — and will decide we work better together, than apart.

Above all, stay true to your nature and optimistic in your pursuits.

If you’re committed to being a writer and are willing to do what it takes — despite the rejections, the doubts, the fears, and the hard work — you’ll eventually find your flow, and the confidence and rewards will follow.
