Five Reasons to Keep Writing: When Quitting Seems Sensible
Introduction
Many writers frequently face the thought that they're out of their minds for choosing a career that regularly challenges their pride and ego. While dreams of fame and wealth occasionally offer comfort, they often fail to silence persistent doubts.
Discouragement looms large. Rejections pile up. Time, money, and energy vanish without any promise of financial return. Writers often endure condescending looks when they reveal their profession. Literary authors may be admired, but genre writers are sometimes regarded with disdain.
In such moments, quitting can feel like a rational choice. If writing drives you to despair, stepping back might be wise. However, if the call to write persists, here are five compelling reasons to stay the course:
1. Write for Yourself
You don't need to publish your work to validate your identity as a writer. Like Emily Dickinson, who kept much of her work private, you can write purely for enjoyment. Self-publishing is an option if you wish to share, but remember: you don't need public validation to create. Embrace the art of writing?"create, explore, indulge!
2. Leave a Legacy
Writing offers a chance at immortality. Long after you're gone, your unpublished works might be unearthed, leading to posthumous recognition as a genius. Without writing, there will be nothing for future generations to discover.
3. Prove Them Wrong
Writing can be a form of revenge against those who've doubted or criticized you?"be it a harsh teacher, an unsupportive peer, or a dismissive editor. Strong emotions fuel creativity?"prove critics wrong by sharing your unique voice and perspective.
4. The World Needs Stories
Despite literary snobs who argue that only certain voices matter, stories are essential. Your writing doesn't need to mimic Jane Austen or J.K. Rowling. Authentic narratives enrich lives. Share your stories?"help us connect and survive through your unique voice.
5. Define Your Success
Success in writing isn't solely defined by bestsellers or awards. It's in the small victories?"making someone smile, inspiring a friend, or comforting a lonely soul. Many dream of writing, but few actually do. Stand confidently as a writer and let your passion shine.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the best reason to write is simply because you must. My own style may not be widely recognized, and I may not break records. Yet, even when I consider quitting, a small voice pulls me back. Writing is a part of who I am?"a passion that refuses to fade. If you feel the same, embrace the journey. Keep writing.
