An inspiration.

One of my followers emailed me recently and said something very inspirational that i want to share. I think it describes the mindset that all amateur writers should share and it gives very good encouragement.
"Does my writing suck?
Yes.
Do I keep writing because I just can't stop?
Double yes."

This absolutely describes how I feel when I write and I think if we just keep going we'll get something worthwhile out of it.
So just keep pushing people. Amateur is a term that should only be temporary.

     There's an amazing website that allows young or amateur writers to go on and write for free. everything (to my understanding) is copy-written as you post. Members can read your stuff and and a group of editors from a big time publishing company reads the top five stories on the site and choose one to publish. I have joined the site and I absolutely love it. Check it out at inkpop.com
