This post is a confession as well as a motivation 😁.To all my secondary school folks who called me bad ass for those stories I wrote in ss3 Well.
-Start it
-Progressively getting better.
Growing up, I was told we all had a gift, a talent, that one thing we could do and I was rather determined to know mine. Definitely wasn't dancing, thank God for mirrors, it gives a convenient chance to embarrass ourselves in the presence of only ourselves ,singing isn't my thing either .This confusion and anxiety gets worse in social events when you see your pairs grinding to different things and you wonder what yours is .So I read a couple of stories in a magazine ,a novella sort of ,I really enjoyed it ,and wished it was mine, I had found a rather perfect and unique hobby I thought ,and so I made it mine 😀,over the holiday I wrote them in a 40leaves notebook and told my classmates then it was mine ,giving them to read one after the other and enjoyed the genius looks they gave me ,and then I tried writing another and it was a mighty flop ,even my eyes couldn't stand it , and then it was from book to book ,wanted to be called a writer so bad , and until recently I didn't how much i have improved . Going through the comments on my very first story on Watt pad (Novella), initially published on Facebook got me smiling uncontrollably , especially the part where someone said
"You stole this "😁
Then I realized, I didn't go for any writing classes, I don't even read books a lot’ all I have ever done is write shit from one paper to another, didn’t know I was steadily getting better. If I’m asked how i came up with any watt pad story or even unpublished work you would find I have no idea, it’s just another shit writing if you ask me .SUCCESS ISN'T ABOUT PERFECTION ,ITS ABOUT PROGRESSION , so hey do what you do ,do what you are terrible at ,be terrible at it ,it won't always be like that , just find the perfect driving force .
The only competition is who you where yesterday. So yeah, beat it.
