A Word to the Wise Writer

 When you're feeling uninspired, keep in mind, "Great writers will keep writing regardless of whether or not they get published." It's something that is inside of us, that pumps through our blood and cannot be stifled or redirected. Try your luck at an office job in a cube, and you'll find yourself journaling in your Day Runner when you should be entering data into Excel.

It's a nebulous fate. Long nights and at times inexplicable loneliness. 

One night out of frustration I emailed my favorite college professor. His advice is quoted above. It was too true and too good to keep to myself- so if you're a writer, or trying to be one like me, keep writing.

It's like 'Finding Nemo'

It's like 'Finding Nemo' Dory: just keep swimming, just keep swimming...except I sing, just keep writing, just keep writing...
