I chose to dedicate my time to writing web content and blogs after many unsuccessful attempts at finding a "real" job.
My life is complicated; that is not anything new. Writing seemed like a good idea at the time.
Being disciplined is not a problem, the problem for me is what to do when the dry spells come.
For me, a dry spell means that although I may feel like writing when I sit down and attempt it- it just isn't working. I ramble or I cannot stay on topic. Other times I feel depressed and so scattered that my brain has trouble with making sense.
Once the feelings pass and I decide to get back to business, I start to contemplate whether writing was just a "phase". Maybe I am not cut out to write anymore. Maybe it was just something that I needed to get out of my system and now I am ready to move on to something else.
I am the Jill of all trades and master of none. I have accepted any position that has come my way only because the idea of learning something new and the challenge is so exciting to me.
I am starting to feel like maybe writing was just another one of the opportunities that came my way and although I may dabble in it from time to time, it is not meant for me to continue full time as I was.
So Priscilla Benfield Writes may just become another one of those "outlets" that I will turn to when I need a break.
I am excited about finding that next door to open. I wonder what will be waiting on the other side?
