"The reason I spend thousands of lifetime hours creating something 99 percent of which no one else is likely to ever read is that writing itself is the gift."American Author/Speaker
1946 -
Sometimes as writers we become caught up in the business of publishing and experience the hurt and pain of rejection. We become frustrated and sometimes quit writing because we don't think we are good enough. The need to write, to express ourselves, is not about being published. The need to write and to create is a gift in itself. Celebrate and honor the gift you have been given. Write for the sake of writing.The same can be said of painting and any of the other forms of creative expression. Painting is not about selling your art to the highest bidder or having your painting hang in a museum somewhere. Painting is a gift to be honored and treasured. Respect and appreciate the gift that you have been given.
