If writing is your interest/hobby/passion, then by all means, WRITE!

If people tell you your ideas aren't good enough, KEEP WRITING!

If they tell you your writing isn't polished enough, KEEP WRITING!

If they tell you that you're not good enough to be a writer and to give up, KEEP WRITING!

Don't ever let someone -- other than yourself -- stop you from doing the thing you enjoy.

We live in a world where the artist is not nurtured, and many live their entire lives on the assumption they have to prioritize expectations of society, family and gender, and ignore their desires to pursue a life of creativity.

Which is ironic when you consider the amount of influence art forms have on the world. Be it dance, a novel, film, or music.

It’s often not until later in life when a person can gather the courage to finally remove the mask they're been expected to wear, and pursue the interests stirring their souls.

Not every creative experiences breakout success at a young age; some even don’t gain recognition until very late in life when they fully embrace their interests, and others not even until after they're dead.

Regardless of what people say, the act of writing is all a matter of perception either way. That includes this post. It is just me reflecting my perception of writers and writing.

Don't buy into the idea that "a writer writes because he MUST". That's like saying lawyers become lawyers because they like to argue. Some become lawyers because they want to fight injustice, and some because they think it's an exciting career pursue. Same goes for writers.

Writers write because they want to. Because they believe they have something to share, so they put it out there for the world to see; in one form or another.

When something is important to you, you do it even when the odds are against you.

Tnx for this post,Op.Very inspiring.Keep your passion alive.Don't let people talk you into giving up.Some day,you will write something worth celebrating.
