It Takes Persistence to be a writer

It takes persistence to be a writer. Persistence is a part of patience and a part of faith. All three are necessary not only to write, but to live. It takes faith to get up at 12:30 AM, sit down at a computer and start to write. You have to believe that the computer will boot the same way it did the day before, when you got up at 5:00 AM an hour after the alarm was suppose to ring.

It takes patience to wait for the coffee to brew, while you are staring at the screen wondering what you are going to blog about this morning. You go over the events of yesterday and realize that the drive to the pharmacy to pick up your mother's medication was too boring a subject.

It takes persistence to continue working, when you browser cannot find the web site address you just put in. You check the spelling of the URL to make sure it is correct and then try again. It takes persistence when your browser continues to get lost in cyberspace and cannot find the address of the web site where your blog is located.

After all this difficulty, your browser finds the URL. Now you can start blogging. So what happens next, your muse has a senior moment and you for get the subject you intended to blog about. Therefore, you do the next best thing you start typing the first thing that pops into your head, which is "It Takes Persistence to be a writer".
