Dreams and Inspiration

InsecureWritersSupportGroup

It’s that time of the month again, first Wednesday, which means, it’s Insecure Writer’s Support Group:

Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

It all comes to this, doesn’t it? Nobody else will care or work for your dream as much as you do. I’ve been struggling with the rewrites of my story but this is my dream and I’m the one who has to work for it. As much as I want it, I also very much want to do it right and that means putting in the time to learn.

And that’s what the rewrites are for, to make the story better. I don’t want to publish a so-so story, I want to show a great story with amazing characters and an interesting setting, and that takes time. Compared to most writers I know personally, I’m very new. I’ve only been writing fiction for two years and I can’t expect to know as much as those who’ve been doing it for longer. As much as I’d like to believe I have the talent for it, I also know that the training will help me achieve that talent. And though it’s a cliché, practice does get you closer to perfection.

My dream won’t work unless I do.
