Never listen to the praise it's a poison that will drive your work to cater to the mundane. Rejection is good but if you are going to be made of glass you picked the wrong path . There is never a right way simply your own. Ignore those voices that question everything take off the brakes and go full throttle for it's better to burn bright for a short time than to waste away a sad parody of your true self. I'm no expert just another ***** at the keys typing away his life drink in hand killing the moments till there's nothing left but dust and memories for which stories will be cast . The page is all that matters nothing more . I have sacrificed all and I dam sure am not stopping till I die . It's never a choice for the true writer . I never viewed the road and saw many directions for me it was a straight ******* line since day one. I may be a ******* to some but I will always be what most can never grasp. True to myself . No regrets ,No remorse . I have tasted the pavement far to many times my words are like scars they carry a weight I cannot deny. The faces always change yet my goal has never changed. To make that page bleed to my will . There's no easy way to get anything in this life worth a dam. Likes are a ******* joke popularity his for high school has-been's emptiness is the truth of this road friends are few and rejections many. If you choose to take this road all I can say it's one ruff ******* ride. But if you are truly a writer there's no choice it's just the way it is . No regrets and no ******* remorse!

My Thoughts On Writing
