Writer


Making a name in this world is hard.

Being a writer makes it that much more difficult.

Writing as a career? impossible.

You are the joke, the dreamer, the believer.

And no one shares that dream.

 

But they forgot everything is possible.

You are capable of it all.

Being the dreamer is okay.

Believing in your talent is okay.

And if they don’t believe you, the jokes on them.

 

You can be the next J.K. 

Not “just kidding”, but as in Rowling.

You could be the next Stephen King.

You could write the next great epic.

All of this is possible, but none of it is easy.

 

The challenge is from adversity.

The things you have to overcome, you do it with pen and paper.

It is the best weapon against all who want to stop you.

Create your portfolio of dreams for the masses.

Then you won’t be known as the joke.

 

But remember making a name in this world is hard.

Being a writer makes it that much more difficult.

Writing as a career is near impossible.

You will be the believer, the dreamer, and the joke.

No one will share this dream. 

But that doesn’t matter.
