Working through the mental grime
There's a lot of reasons to give up, right now, isn't there? I'm going to keep pushing through the mental grime and keep creating my work. It has nothing to do with the desire to be famous or wealthy. I would laugh at my younger self for even entertaining the notion that I would be able to sustain myself as a world famous writer. The trials and terrors of being a dreamer. Instead of focusing on compensation as a writer this year, I'm focusing on completion and artistry. I think it's going to be a very fun and productive year. I'm going to have fun writing!
