I’m sure people believe being a writer/ author, whatever you would like to call it, is easy. But it isn’t easy in the least, because you have to find an audience that loves to read and as time goes on that is becoming harder and harder to find. So many people are waiting for me to finish this book, but very few are giving me the support I need to finally finish. I almost feel like the book is going to flop once it comes out. I know i should only have positive thoughts about it. But I have been writing for months and there aren’t that many people who actually check out my work. All I’m saying is, it would be nice to know you all are actually enjoying and reading the content I’m putting out. Side note: To those that actually read my work, know that I really, really, really appreciate all of you. You just don’t know how much it means to me to knowing when I write something you read it and enjoy it. Please keep commenting, I really love to see what you have to say.
Also I’m going to forever write. It’s something I know was put in me to do. I don’t care if I find a way to get paid for it or not, it’s my therapy. The added bonus is knowing someone is listening. Eventually I would love to leave a legacy like other writers that came before me like Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, Zora Neale Hurtson, Maya Angelou, and so many others. One day I hope I can reach their level of writing. One day I will, I’m sure of it because I’m not giving up!
