I was like you. People ...Write for yourself, Starr. I was like you. People always praised my ability to write, but I never thought I could make money doing it. I set off with a different career and that added to my life experiences and financial nest egg, but I never forgot my passion for writing. Now I do it full time and it's added to my quality of life in a big way, but there are no safety nets in writing if you dare to let others read your work. It's a risk all the way, but the personal rewards far exceed that risk. Try writing. Do it for YOU.<br /><br />Hipster glasses highly recommended.Jordan Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350761658156085280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817438941023006688.post-68951695435146440322013-06-27T02:02:48.552-05:002013-06-27T02:02:48.552-05:00You know, I've been told pretty much all of my...You know, I've been told pretty much all of my life that I need a plan in case writing doesn't work out for me. Despite the fact that teachers, workshop leaders and random readers saw being a successful writer in my future. I look back at my patterns of behavior-one of living safely and creating that safety net, without delving too far into writing. I have never given myself the opportunity to fail at writing before creating the cushion. As if failure was inevitable and such. Well, I have decided that maybe I should. Now I must get some hipster glasses of my own.

I never had the full-on insecurity in my old day job, when I worked in the energy industry as a commodities trader, but damn. Writing makes me feel like I SUCK sometimes.<br /><br />But now I know the cure.

Although I did not know what a hipster was when I bought them but they make me look like the nerd I am :-) You're writing quirks are definitely awesome.
