What Keeps You Going To Write?
"Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is on."
-Louis L'Amour
What keeps you going to write?
Writing to me is simply writing through my heart, reflecting through my soul, and thinking through my fingers as I type every thought I wish to convey.
A wise man once said that anyone must start writing no matter what happens in life every day. Perhaps writing is like a faucet scenario wherein the water does not flow until it is on. I wish to do it day by day until it becomes as natural as the way I breath for life through a positive thinking.
"If you wait for an inspiration to write, you're not a writer, you're a waiter."
-Dan Poynter
Are you a writer or a waiter?
The beginning may seem to be the hardest but when you normalize writing the way you breath for life, eventually it becomes a habit. I started in the community yesterday with the thought of how hard is the beginning as a beginner?
I may not be a professional writer but surely I am not a waiter. Even it was really hard for me, I moved out from my comfort zone with a mixture of eagerness and nervousness yet I always believe that I would not know anything in life unless I would try. So I have written through my heart, reflected through my soul, and thought through my fingers.
In fact, there is no starting point in writing when you are not motivated to write. It would always be a good feeling to write to be understood and it would always be the best to express an untold feeling from within. And what keeps me going to write personally include:
passion for writing;
earning a passive income; and
self-improvement.
Passion for Writing
The passion for writing is one of the things that keeps me going. I may not be a good writer but what matters most to me is the ability to convey my thoughts and share an untold story from within. When I was young, I really dreamed to become a writer but fate led me to another field yet I did not regret anything. And now, here I am having a chance to write and publish articles being a writer of my own life. I just want to be a writer, and not a waiter who would only start writing when there is an inspiration to write.
Earning a Passive Income
This cryptocurrency-based blogging platform could be a chance to earn a passive income through writing and publishing articles. The idea motivates me to keep going because what I only need is my skills in writing and earn some rewards. I just hope that I could attain my goals. As of now, I am only earning cents but I am always looking forward for a positive results.
Self-improvement
Self-improvement is what I am always looking forward in life day by day. I strongly believe that practice makes perfect, and that if I wish to improve on a certain aspect, I really need to engage and make it a habit to write on a regular basis as I explore and discover the best guides for writing. Writing may be difficult at the beginning but I am holding on that one day, I could perform better. I just need to grind now so I could always have the opportunity to glow later as I am competing with my own weaknesses.
In conclusion, each one of us has the ability to do things on our own through the power of motivation which keep us going to write. Regardless of what makes us motivated to write, the most important part is not ending up being a waiter but be a writer of every interesting and untold story from the inside, and that the key is to rekindle the writer from within through the passion for writing.
