The Journey



Writing isn’t an easy slide downhill. It’s a steep climb upward, like scaling a mountain. There are moments of frustration and moments when you sigh at the view.

You slip once in a while when you remember, “Oh no, that’ll never work. I killed that guy three scenes ago.” When you reach the top, it’s a heady thrill for a couple of heartbeats.
 
Then begins the long climb downward to real world where you try and convince someone to at least read, if not buy, what you’ve written. Is it exhausting? Yeah, but it’s worth it.
