Now What?

Not happy, but I am holding on...

Have you ever been in a position where you feel that it's not working?

I know I want to be a writer, I know I am a writer cos I love to write.
But it's so frustrating when it's so difficult to get someone professional to read your work. It's even more frustrating when after they have read it, they feel it wasn't that great.

Now what?

Do I just dump it and not continue again?
Is writing really my calling?
Maybe I should stick my head somewhere else, and just limit the writing to my diary and for my eyes only....

Hmm

I know we have to work at it, and they say practice makes perfect, but for how long will I have to write to be noticed in the publishing world?
How long do I have to endure the rejection before it finally comes out?

When they ask me what is my style sometimes I don't even know what to say... I go on a long explanation road of how my first book talked about kids on an adventure, my second book about a grandmother and her granddaughter, and blah blah blah...
Most of the time as I speak I watch the impatience in the listeners ears...they are like..." oh boy will she just hurry up and let us go....or why didn't she just tell us that she writes fictions, or she is an essay writer or creative writer or something..........

It's hard my dears I must say, but what in life isn't hard at first...

I guess after brooding for a while I will just have to stand up and continue...
For no one can determine the destiny of another man,
For no one knows tomorrow...
