Thin Skinned Writer by Helvi2 |
Some people will see this, but not read it, others will see my name and cross it off their list, but there will be some who will enter. THANK YOU!
They say if you want to be a writer you have to be thick-skinned. Though I have been on Fan Story for five years this month I have yet to achieve that goal. I can only believe there is something wrong with me. My skin is SO thin it's transparent! I worry about everything I write and if it's going to be liked. There are definately times I want to throw in the towel. I certainly have been wacked by it...But ....I have writer's blood. A true writer can not help themself when it comes to writing. Even when my world is turned upside down I can not resist the urge to pick up a pen. NO one wants to feel harsh comments penetrate their skin or believe they have nothing to offer. It hurts when one's writing sits in plain sight and no one even acknolwledges it's there. The only thing that crosses the mind is...."What did I do wrong?" ...IT hurts! What is it that keeps me hanging on? It's found in knowing that I made someone smile. Though I would love to give that gift to everyone I know it is not going to happen. I may not be the most popular writer or the BEST, but knowing that I touch a few people is all that I need to go on...even when some split my skin. Bless You for Entering Helvi's Zone
