“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” - George Eliot (Mary Anne Evans)
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." - Walt Disney
What they don't talk about is how bloody, fucking hard it is to make your dreams come true.
It requires an enormous investment of time and effort to bridge that creative gap and get from where we are (super-sucky-omg-I'll-never-be-good-at-this) to where we want to be (holy-crap-I'm-the-next-Stephen-King).
And there's only one road on that map. It's called Bleed Onto The Page Road. And there can only be arrived at from here. You can't be good, without getting good first. And the only way to get good, is to practice. And not just half-assed, I wrote 10,000 words today, and logged my 1,000 hours this year. It has to be hard work. It has to be deliberate practice. It creates bruises, and twisted joints. Ripped up legwarmers and broken toes. Nightmares and multi-vitamin dependencies.
I know this is true.
Because I've tried every other way.
