Persistance

(Bird by Bird 3-15)

If there is one thing I have noticed about Anne Lamott, it is that she is abundantly clear about the fact that writng does not come easily. That it takes persistance, dedication, and the ability to listen to yourself. I like this. Hearing this again and again makes me feel more able to do this. It makes me feel like I am not totally diluding myself when I think about being a writer. It makes me think that maybe, just maybe, I am not a complete loser, and that the whole idea of being a writer actually comes true when we just sit down and make it happen.
