Day sixteen.
Who knew I would get this far?
It is surprising to me that I've gotten this far.
*nods*
Well moving forward to the quote by the J.K. Rowling.
"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default."
- J.K. Rowling
True.
End of story.
Okay, okay I'll say something. I can't just end it here can I?
J.K. Rowling makes sense.
If you don't try at something, anything at all even if you fail, you just really haven't lived at all.
We are given this life, so why not enjoy it.
Set a goal and go for it.
It doesn't matter if you fall because that just means you need to get up and try again.
It is truly impossible to live without failing at something.
Nobody is perfect.
We all make mistakes.
It is a part of life.
If we don't take advantage of trying to live life to the fullest, what is left of us?
Nothing.
We have to try for something.
Even if we fail, at least we can say we tried.
Right?
If people don't like my book at least I can say I tried.
When I finish my book, I will be able to say 'I wrote a book'.
It is an accomplishment.
Not many people can write a book.
Wait.
Or should I say finish a book.
People can write a book, but it doesn't mean they finished it.
Then there is, what I think, a lot of people feel that there are just some who shouldn't write.
I say let them have their dreams.
If they want to write, then don't stop them.
Maybe they like to write.
Like me.
I like to write.
I don't know if I'm necessarily good at writing, but I like it.
I'm not going to stop.
If people don't like it, then I'll just stop telling people I write.
I think I may have to do that.
Stop telling people I write.
Actually to be more specific I am going to stop telling them I'm writing a book.
Hearing comments from others on how I shouldn't write a book or laughing or poking fun at me, isn't helping me at all.
It just makes me feel like I'm going to fail.
I have already decided I'm going to finish the book.
I just have these comments in my head, which creates more comments that haven't even been said yet.
All negative ones.
Even if I am writing the book because I like to write, doesn't mean I don't want people to like it.
I do want people to like the book.
I'm afraid that people won't enjoy the book.
I can already see the criticism it will get.
I know there will be some who will like it and some who won't.
We each have our own opinion.
There are times, I must admit, that I want something I do to be accepted.
I want my parents to actually be proud of what I'm doing with myself rather then tell me that I need to be more like my sisters.
I'm not my sisters.
I am me.
I am different.
Different is a good thing.
Right?
*Sigh*
Here is the quote:
"Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all."
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
