I'm happy to see that others are staying positive and plugging away. I've been a little ho-hum myself, lately. No new job offers this year, and I've let that get me down. Honestly, I've kind of stopped trying to find new gigs, and I don't know whats worse: trying and not succeeding, or not trying at all.
It's not that I don't want to write- I really do. I enjoy it, I'm good at it...maybe I just lack the patience or discipline.
One thing I'm not short on is willpower, though. My goal for this month is to figure out what, exactly, I'm trying to do with this writing thing. I think I have some questions to answer, some soul searching to do.
For example, I know I want to blog, but blogging about myself or my life has been an utter failure (and nobody else cares, anyway). So what do I blog about?
Also, I've never considered myself a fiction writer, because a) I always get bored with the story before I get halfway through it,and b) I feel like I'm more of a persuasive writer. But, lately, I'm not sure about this anymore. Maybe I do want to write fiction.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, I continue to write for Demand (when I can bring myself to do it), Bright Hub (which I enjoy more but am paid little for), and the one private client I have managed to secure. I lack motivation, but I think that's simply because it's a lot harder than I want it to be.
Sorry this turned into such a long post... I've just been musing on all this lately, guess I needed to get it off my chest.
Good luck this month, all!
