Hashtag Novels

I am constantly reading things about writing. Articles, essays, blogs on how to blog, writing prompts, 30 day plans and calendars. I have done such extensive research on the act of writing, that one might consider me an expert.

If only I wrote as much as I read. I would have novels written. Plural. Series, if you will. Sequel after sequel. Publishers wouldn't be able to keep up with me.

As it is, I struggle to maintain a regular habit of writing, much less a consistent blog post and not the faintest semblance of a book. Ah, the struggles of having everything at my fingertips except the courage it takes to use it.

Courage, it seems, is not within my arsenal. Nor is discipline or the ability to spell. The mountains are high and the odds are stacked against me. (Woe is me.) How ever will I carry on?

And so I hoist this cross upon my back and shoulder the weight that is my dream. Wishing I could hashtag my way to literary greatness. Maybe I'll make that a thing. Hashtag novels. #writing #dreamsdocometrue
