I thought it wouldn't be possible at the beginning, I had so many doubts, I wondered will people like my writings, what is so special about my writings that would make people read them. All this and more were the questions I asked myself some months back. I remember starting looked as though it was the hardest part of it all until I started and discovered there was nothing as hard as continuing to the very end. It was not easy after I wrote the first chapter in a day, I made the biggest mistake of stopping. It took me another one month to write the next chapter, to cut the story short, it took me a total of three months and one week.
Looking back now I can only say It was a journey worth the while even though my laziness and inconsistency prolonged the journey, My determination to succeed kept me on point, making me remember that there was always work to be done and I had to finish what I started. I was tired of always not finishing my past projects I knew I wasn't going to let it become a trend or character trait associated with me.
Although I have always loved telling stories, I came to discover writing these stories seemed a lot harder due to my lazy attitude in writing. I thought at a point, "if only there was a way to unveil my stories without writing them. But on another note, I do enjoy writing sometimes I even get cut up writing over 2,000 - 3,000 words without getting exhausted, and other times, it seems as though I will practically die before I even finish writing a sentence. Like they say practice makes perfect, am not yet perfect though, I can say am better off now.
Writing is what I do, and telling stories is what I love, I have to develop myself in writing so I can do what I love effectively. This is the mindset one should have if they must succeed in whatever life endeavor they have chosen or which to follow. There are times when one might even lose interest in what they like, It's just a call for self-development, consistency, and determination. You don't just stop something you love doing simply because you feel like, or no longer find pleasure in them, create time to develop yourself on such issues and watch as they play out for you and in time begin to benefit you.
You must trust the process if you are going to achieve the self-goal you've set for yourself. Patience is an essential attribute in this case and learning it gives you an advantage in time to come. The process here might not be pleasant, or go as you expected it as it was for me, when I was about to start writing, I felt I would finish in a maximum of three days but unfortunately, it took another turn, one which many will give up on in no time. One day, you will look back at the struggles and be proud of yourself for not giving up.
