I Choose to Write

I often wonder why some things motivate me more than others. I also wonder why the things that motivate me most, pay the least, or not at all. So, I have to ask myself, do I give up my dream of writing, or do I keep plunking away word by word, hoping and dreaming of some day seeing my words in a book put on a shelf. Read by a child who laughs at what I've written. And through that, reader and writer are connected, by the small but mighty words on a page.

I choose to write. I choose to write, because for some reason, it puts a smile on not only my face but on the face of my children. So, I continue to plunk away at my keyboard and scribble on my note pad, for it is 'better to dream than to never dream at all'.

To all those wanting to give up and get a real job, don't. Everyone has a story and it's only yours to tell.
