I want to quit writing and give it up for good. Here's why.
Love Writing? Maybe you’d love to be a blogger? Here are some thoughts on why I love being a blogger and let me be clear on the first one:

Just like every other demographic has a meme that captures them, writers do, too. Here are 20 memes that capture what it means to be a writer.

When life hands us situations that hurt, we sometimes want to push it away, hide it in a closet. It's too hard to bring it forth and try to deal with the misfortune. There are so many events in our life that create deep wounds and leave scars--the death of a spouse, losing a child, being in a terrible accident, losing a home to fire or a tornado, a difficult romance and break-up. The list could go on and on. I believe that writing about whatever happened has benefits. It is cathartic for the writer and can be a help to readers who have gone through a similar situation. You're a double winner if you aid both yourself and those readers who have been through something similar. It's definitely not easy to write about a tragedy in your life. It cannot always be done immediately after the event. For me, it took almost 30 years before I could write about the loss of two infants born three years apart. I wanted to but the time was not right for me to do that. When I finally was able to write about those two difficult times in my life, and my husband's, it seemed that a dam opened and I wrote one story after another. Did it help me? I think it finally brought the peace I had sought and not found all those earlier years. It also made me feel good that I brought something to others who had gone through a similar tragedy. I would not advise waiting such a long time to write, however. Hemingway's advice in our poster today is pretty direct but also wise. When you're writing about something that has hurt you deeply, it's best to address it head first. Some writers will tip-toe around whatever happened and perhaps infer but not really explain. That's not fair to you or your readers. If you decide to write about that deep hurt, do it the way the quote says--write hard and clear. Give the facts of what occurred but also reach into your mind for your feelings, your attitude, the way you dealt with it. This kind of writing is filled with emotion and should be. For you, the writer, it can be a blessed release. Occasionally, what you write will surprise you. You're not aware of some the buried thoughts you have. There are writers who can't or won't write about a hard time they experienced because they feel it is too personal to share with others. That's showing the difference in people and personalities. If you can't write about a hard time to share with others, do it for yourself. Write the story and how it affected you and put it away in a drawer or a safe deposit box or a computer file--somewhere that is just for you to see and read. There's nothing wrong in not sharing with others. The main thing is that writing about whatever hurt you will be of some help to you. If nothing else, you can realize exactly how the situation did affect you or how it may have changed you, Whether you write about tragedies in your life for yourself only or for others, as well, do write. It can't hurt and it certainly might help.

Even if you're writing with no experience, this novel writing course turns your story idea into a full novel you can share with everyone.
John Green, author of beloved YA novels such as The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns, once described writing as “a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don't want to make eye contact while doing it. While amusing, the quote points to an overwhelming belief that writing is something you do alone, without anyone else. In some ways this is true, and it’s part of the beauty of writing: you get to create your own world and your own characters, and then make them into real, live ink-filled things. But writing is far from a solitary pursuit. Of course you have editors and agents and publishers as the process gets farther along, but even before that, it’s important to have a community built up around you. A writing and editing group Okay, this is probably the most obvious one. It’s important to have a group of other writers you can meet with regularly, preferably in person. I found one through the website Meet Up, and spend every other Saturday morning writing with them and discussing our writing. The other writers vary widely in genre, stage of the process, writing style, and just about every other aspect of writing, but all are welcome, and we all learn from each other. I suggest using Meet Up to find a group, or checking at your local library to see if they host a group. If you can’t find one that exists, then make one! You can create a group on Meet Up, or talk to people at school, church, work—wherever you think there might be other people interested in meeting regularly, and just go for it. Critique partner and confidant This may grow out of the writing group, but you need somebody who is your trusted “writing person.” If you’re a Grey’s Anatomy fan, you know that your “person” is who you’d call if you murdered somebody and needed help hiding the body. Your “writing person” is who you call when you might as well have murdered your story with the terrible draft you just wrote, or you want to murder your story because nothing seems to be working…you get the idea. They won’t let you get away with bad writing, but they’ll be gentle about it. They’re a writer also, and you help each other by swapping drafts and editing, by bouncing ideas off each other, and by encouraging each other when the going gets tough. It can take a while to build up to this, but it’s worth it. Online community This is wide ranging, and depends on your level of internet interaction. For some people this means Twitter and other social media, and I definitely use that. It’s encouraging to follow other authors who are farther along in the process than me, and know that it can be done. I also pay to be a part of the Young Writers’ Workshop, for writers under 30. In addition to lessons, workshops, and interviews with published authors, there’s a community website that’s a little like Facebook, but only for members. We ask questions, get edits, share quotes, and make friends. It’s honestly one of the best things that’s happened for my writing life in a long time. The internet means you’re no longer limited to your geographical area in terms of finding a group, and that’s a wonderful thing. Reach out to people, discover new perspectives, and get inspired. Your mentor Having a mentor is incredibly important, but also a little scary. They should be someone who is farther along in the writing process than you, and can help you when you have questions, whether it’s about crafting your story or the publishing process. For this reason, they should also ideally be writing in a genre similar to what you write. Again, the internet is a wonderful thing, so they don’t necessarily need to live near you. They just have to be willing to communicate regularly, maybe via email, phone, or Skype, so you can ask questions and get their feedback. Your circle of friends and family Finally, the non-writers in your community: friends and family. Bless these people, who are willing to put up with you stopping mid-sentence to write down a thought for a new story and staying up at weird hours because you got into the groove of writing and you can’t stop or it’ll never come back. They put up with a lot from you, so never ever think they’re not a crucial part of your community. If your spouse, parents, or other significant person in your life doesn’t support your writing career, that needs to change. It’s important to sit down with them and discuss why you are truly passionate about writing, and why you want to make a career out of it. If you’re new to it, it may take some time to show you are actually dedicated to sticking with it, but it will happen. We need these people around to encourage us when we’re convinced we’re the worst, keep us grounded when we’re full of ourselves, and eventually to pop the champagne when we sign our first book contract! Never underestimate those people, and when you can manage to take your head out of the clouds long enough, be sure to thank them a million times for supporting you. Building a community takes time, so don’t expect it to happen overnight. Take advantage of the resources around you to find people you work well with. You could write a book just by locking yourself away until it’s finished, but I promise you it’s a lot harder, and a lot less fun. As writers, your book feels like your baby, and so it follows that it takes a village to raise it. Where did you find your community? How has it affected your writing life?

This poster could absolve all guilt about time taken away from other things in life so you can write. If you're a hobbyist writer or a part time writer, one who doesn't depend on writing for a full-time income, you probably do feel some guilt about stealing time to do something you love--writing. I like Gloria Steinem's philosophic quote. I imagine she is like many writers who shut out all the everyday parts of life when they write, as though a giant bubble surrounds them. They hear nothing nor see anything outside that protective, comfortable bubble. Not every writer can do this, however. Think about the many times in your day that you waste time on silly little things. Something on tv catches your eye and you stop to listen. The minute or two could stretch into half an hour. You are putting laundry away when you suddenly decide to rearrange your closet. You open your junk drawer and rummage about searching for something you know is in there. Time to clean out the drawer when you cannot find it. When we're doing these little bits and pieces in life, we could be writing. I know what you're thinking--I can't write every minute of the day. Of course, you can't but, when you do sit down to write, don't feel one bit guilty. All those other tasks are not going to go away. When you finish that first draft of a new essay, you can take up the household chores again. Believe me, they will wait for you. If you want to be successful in the publishing world, put writing high on your priority list. I know too many people who truly want to write but they let day after day slip by without writing a word. Other parts of their life take priority. It's why I urge writers to write something every day, even if it is nothing more than one paragraph or a 10 minute word exercise. Each day you don't write is one more day of delay. The longer you delay, the harder it is to get back in the swing of writing. Make writing an integral part of your day. There could be days when you spend hours tapping that keyboard and other that find you putting thoughts in print for only moments. However long, do it. Those who journal on a daily basis develop good writing habits. Most of all, feel no guilt about taking time to follow your passion.
The world of blogging and writing isn’t just about setting the pace for others but learning from them too. For you to be relevant and set apart from the numerous bloggers and writers online, you have…
