Henry, Go Away. (My plea to my writer's block)

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. We can blame it on many things, but let's say say that motivation and no inspiration were huge factors. My writing has also taken a huge blow to these things. Yet, this recent bout of writer's block (or whatever it may be) has only made me realize that I need to push even harder to get things accomplished.

I really need to start taken my future into my own hands and not let other people's decisions mold mine. I can't even tell you how many people have told me this: "Writing is such a hard occupation to get into." This is something I realize. The thing is, it is something I love with all of my heart and it's not something I can just put on the back burner anymore. I have to do this for me now. 

Hopefully, this revelation will help move me towards the finish line without another hitch. Of course, I know I'll probably face a few more along the way whether I want to or not. What matters is how you face and fight your way through them.

When people tell me that writing isn't something people can get rich off of doing, I always tell them that I know that I have to do something else in order to get by. That is, if I would get hired. I got another job rejection letter (well, in this case, an e-mail) from the job my former English professor sent me. The job was filled but they thanked me for my interest in the company. They also wished me luck with all of my future endeavors. It's always the same thing.

Rejection is just apart of life. It's something we all have to get used to. Another rejection only makes me stronger and I know that something good is out there for me. I just have to keep working towards it.

So, remember what I said before, Henry (yes I have named my writer's block..). I meant it. You weren't wanted then and you're still not wanted now.
