It is amazing how negative comments and constant criticism can motivate the best of us. I am glad Donald Graves did not give up his dream to be an author! Often times, I fantasize about being a writer. I would love to concentrate on writing or journaling on a daily basis. Writing refreshes the soul. This is one of the main reasons I want to pursue another degree because writing is at the heart of it. Although it’s a challenging task, researching and writing what one believes is captivating.
I did not always feel this way. I can recall in many writing classes, my teachers reminded me to stay on topic. I was a big rambler, jumping from one topic to the next. I was interested in everything, yet I tried to include all of my convoluted thoughts/interests in one paper. Big mistake! Like Donald Graves, I’m not easily discouraged from writing- even if it doesn’t flow, I can't find the right words, or if its just a bland piece. I write anyway, hoping to find my voice and the best approach to share it with the world.
