I would want my younger self to realize that as wonderful as publication is, it isn’t the point of the writing process. It’s just a stop along the road. Writing is more about the journey than the destination. As award-winning author Anne Lamott points out, “Being published isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Writing is.” So don’t let your non-published status get you down. Just enjoy where you are right now.” ~ K. M. Weiland
So true and positive. Power thinking. 🙂
Terveen, thank you for your comments and insights. The wisdom here applies to everything, from writing to cooking a meal, to cleaning the bathroom. Toss yourself into it and enjoy it. Yah, it’s possible to have fun cleaning the bathroom, play music, sing aloud with the artist and believe you’re as talented as Picasso when scrubbing the toilet bowl. LOL Shine on. Have a great day. Ray
Lol. Now that’s a fun and unique perspective.
I agree with you, Ray. 🙂
