beat down my door
I realize no one is going to ‘beat down my door’ as was put to me yesterday.
The main thing you deal with as a Writer is persistence, and dealing with the whole ‘no money’ thing. Lucky for me, ink is cheap.
In all honesty, coming across more Writers of a similar mind frame would probably work me wonders. This means finding other disgruntle wordsmiths with talent and goals and a genuine interest in creating something great.
Once again I’ve dramatically changed the direction of my work. Naturally my erratic jump from one 50 thousand word piece to a new project cops the cliche ridicule of ‘artists aren’t focussed, don’t finish things, blah blah blah…’
What can I say? I’m a perfectionist… and a realist… and I write a LOT.
This all ties into the purpose of my escapade… figuring out how I’m going to swing a career out of creative writing.
And in the meantime it’s all about picking myself up, brushing myself off, and accepting the way my own personal style and creativity works. So I’ve decided to start a new new project, even though I swore I would exclusively stick to the project I’ve been working on.
Perhaps I’ll go back to it…
… maybe someone will come beat down my door after all.
