Life can be difficult. Full of choices, events, relationships, and so many decisions. We sometimes stop to question ourselves if we are making the right choice. These days-we may be even questioning the government on the choices that they make. All around, life can be pretty darn scary-while its sweet at the very same time.
Writing can be the same way. You make decisions about how to present material. You decide on a subject, a title, and what perspective you want to share with the reader. There may be a few bumps in the road, but you always come out okay in the end...After its all been said and done, you can have a pretty great story.
This can compare to life. You make choices. You learn from your choices. And you move on. But in the end, somehow-life always works out. It won't be easy, but we eventually pull through until we ourselves see the light at the end of the tunnel....
The move to writing freelance full time is scary. I am taking steps in doing so. I know it can work, and I have shared my ideas and worries on message boards with other full time writers. Many write full time, pay their bills-work hard, but have not regretted the choice that they have made. I feel in my heart-it is the right thing to do, and its almost as if something else is at work-telling me to go for it!....
One of the members on the board had one very insightful-yet short statement:
"You only live once.".....
That is a bold, short, yet meaningful statement. ---It is true....
Yes, the economy is down. Yes --we have financial limitations. We have families to care for. But if you have planned out your choice carefully, written all of the positives and negatives, and believe you have the heart to do it--Then why not go for it?......
--My desk at home is ready. It is set up. I am gonna make the move soon... I just have to do it....
The path is right in front of me--I just need to make sure I have the correct map-so that I can find the bright light at the end of the tunnel...
