Someone said it was about creating an online business no one said anything about writing.

Say what I can't write to save my self, no way can't be done. The ship will run aground before it makes it past the rocks at the entrance to the harbor. Some of the hardest characters that you will ever create are the first fifty words and then someone famous said " if you can talk you can write".

So it is all good

The second hardest thing is creating the next 100 then 300 then 500 then 5000 then 300,000 words.

At the end of the day like everything in this sweet life, it comes down to backing your self. Back your self and you will always succeed.

Get the mindset right and you can do anything as long as you remember to take the odd breath. Breathing is the source of life, get the breath right and the ideas will flow it is just a case of catching them on the way through before they float away and disappear back to where they came from, when they are spun into words they are a gift to be shared.

Everyone has a message trapped inside looking to get to the outside, to see the light of day. All we need is that vehicle to express the ideas, emotion, feelings, knowledge, and wisdom that is lurking inside us all.

We all have it and once we get over the, I can't write syndrome we can be away on a fast bike.

Blogging Can Be a Slow Dawn

Starting out in the blogging world it is kind of one of those unknowns if you knew how hard it was going to be you would have probably flagged it before you began. Once we get into it we can become good and respectful friends, writing can become a life-sustaining passion, a way of life.

In the beginning, phases where we are alone on the stage staring out to the audience of no one, an empty hall filled with chairs and that lonely smell that old halls get from neglect. It can be hard, you look around and many folks that are your contemporaries have grown wings and are soaring in the skies, while your words fall like rain into the dust bin, in the corner of the room.

Then one day

Your lonely words decide it is time to start speaking for you in your absence.

No one said it was going to be easy and then again no one said it would be hard, like all things in life we just don't know till we try.

For many the finish line is way before they are finished if that makes sense, if we look at the online world there is so much content being created and published on a daily basis, one shudders when you think in terms of competing on the world stage.

The thing is that we can, learn the processes and craft the words that speak and reach out to folks and they will listen. It may seem like a foreign concept, we just need to turn up every day, and all we need to bring is ourselves.

I am not a writer's writer,

Just someone that likes to write and with each piece you hone your craft you effectively get better at delivering your message when you look around you see folks fall along the way, were they better than you, or was it that we were just too thick to quit?

I find that scary, some folks could write up a storm, just so talented, it was if writing and engagement came so easy to them, it was perplexing and transfixing at the same time.

Fingers tapping on the keyboard, cranking out that content, as we all know it's way harder than it looks, some days the words just flow and others that keyboard may be flying through a closed window at any moment, if indeed the device is fired up at all, and then some days the ideas just fall onto the page like magic, some days you are in the zone. Not sure of where things are coming from, the read back can be as if someone else was writing those words.

It was you, well if that doesn't beat all you are a writer's, writer after all.

Along the path there are, countless breakthrough moments, self-belief and confidence don't come in a box of breakfast cereal, they can not be brought they accumulated from the experiences that we create.

It can be a long way to the top if you want to blog and roll !!!

But who, would swap it for anything in the world there is too much fun and adventure to be had? Who would have thought that your words could and can create a future free of normal, or is it that we are moving to a new normal and just haven't realized?

The crowd chimes in...................... in agreement

We know, it's a long way to the top if you want to blog n roll !!!

Worth every minute and every single moment and then some.

Party time...................................................................
