I write, that makes me a writer. I may not have as much success as other writers, but that doesn't discount my unique talents or lessen my passion for the craft. I push to learn more, read more and write as much as possible. It's the only way to improve. If I quit, the only thing that's guaranteed is failure.Adrianne Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108123882094459747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-66364708128200905912012-04-23T22:46:47.243-07:002012-04-23T22:46:47.243-07:00Your posts rock.

For some of us, it comes more often than it does for others. The key is to always keep pushing for what you believe in, even though I know (and feel) it sometimes seems easier said than done. But when that happens, I just remind myself why I made the decision to write in the first place. Once that spark is reignited, I try my best not to lose sight of it.Michael Abayomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276804685807238328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-75809497770084129542012-04-23T05:48:57.935-07:002012-04-23T05:48:57.935-07:00This really struck a chord with me today, because ...This really struck a chord with me today, because I feel so far behind too.
