It is amazing <3<br /><br />I've definitely struggled with writing the story of my heart because I feel like it's in a too unpopular genre, too different, to be successful. But it /is/ the story of my heart. So I think writing it, and writing it to win, is success in and of itself.<br /><br />Again, thanks for the awesome post! :D<br /><br /><br />Alexa<br />thessalexa.blogspot.com<br />verbositybookreviwes.wordpress.com Alexa Mintahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865586987033390255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-23451879462886996912015-10-18T11:44:49.758-05:002015-10-18T11:44:49.758-05:00Absolutely!

There's still a lot of things I'm trying to figure out, but I have to remember that I can always go back and switch things around!

We should feel free to write for ourselves however we want and whenever we want about the things that stir us. This post is more about choosing to be brave and face risk head on when the situation calls for it. As opposed to writing scared, you know? As opposed to trying to please everyone. So, maybe you and I are really saying the same things???? ;)Shannon Dittemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757781231485815876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-87715495505011147842015-10-16T17:58:02.880-05:002015-10-16T17:58:02.880-05:00Shannon, I love when you have inspirational though...Shannon, I love when you have inspirational thoughts! They're some of my favorite and they always make me want to write afterwards. Although I agree with what you say, I think that sometimes writing to win isn't as relevant - for example, I am in high school. My dad is always trying to tell me to edit my book and get it published.. he is slightly ignorant in the publishing business (I am too, but I'd say that he's more ignorant) and I always find it annoying that he won't just let me write for the pleasure of writing. Later in life, yes, I think it would be awesome to be able to write for a living but at this moment I think that although I do want to write as if I am published and try and develop writing as a skill as much as I can, I don't think I need to edit every book and try and get it published. I'm not sure what I want you to say about this and sorry for ranting :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204177603888877364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-20645706665424902742015-10-16T16:52:56.426-05:002015-10-16T16:52:56.426-05:00Blessings on yours as well 😄Blessings on yours as well 😄Cindy Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067136529045760848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-79154507961424468062015-10-16T16:41:49.359-05:002015-10-16T16:41:49.359-05:00Oh yay!
