It is no secret that I have been feeling down about writing. Down to the extent of thinking maybe I should go retrain for something new. Because three degrees and a college diploma obviously isn’t enough for me. I need more degrees and diplomas after my name.
Writing is all uphill now. The only way to get better is hard work and I don’t know if I have any hard work left in me. I just want to be a good writer without having the slog to get there. Because it’s hard. It’s hard work and there are days when I’d rather have a nap. Every day. Every day I want to have a nap.
But even with hard work and trying to write every day, I don’t feel like I’m getting better. I feel like I’m treading water, just at that level of almost-good-enough. What do I do to get better?
Do I even want to try and get better?
