Write Anyway

People will say your writing is unrealistic,

illogical, or boring.

Write anyway.

People will praise your writing one day, and

then pan you the next day.

Write anyway.

If your writing is successful and

you make money from it, you

will acquire false friends

and new enemies.

Write anyway.

You can spend years researching

a novel and painstakingly writing

and revising it before publishing,

and someone can still accuse

you of plagiarizing.

Write anyway.

If you help other writers, some people

will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.

Help other writers anyway.

If you are happy with your writing,

and are not a depressed struggling writer,

other people may be jealous of you.

Write with happiness anyway.

Give the world your best writing, and

many people will still say

you're not good enough.

Write your best anyway. In the end,

it was never between you and them.
