Writers, Worries, and Woes: Three Challenges Every Writer Faces
Oh, to be a writer! Sounds like such a noble profession. This profession definitely has to be exciting, expressive, and creative. Or is it? Though the writing profession can be all of these things, it does come with certain worries and woes which are commonly experienced by writing professionals.
1. Deadlines – Professional and personal deadlines can be the bane of the writer’s existence. Most writers have experienced the torment of having a deadline over the head while a blank screen, page, and notebook is before the eyes. A deadline means that there is work, but it also comes with learning the art of controlled creativity. You have to produce your ‘finest’ within a certain time.
2. Debts – Some view a writing career as a ticket to financial security. While the plain truth is that even established writers are not made wealthy from their endeavors. They live like other ‘working’ individuals. Writers, frequently, suffer indignities and hardships for choosing to pursue their goals. Debts are a part of life, while work can sometimes be infrequent for writers. This is one of the major worries of a writer.
3. Disappointments– No one truly likes rejection. Rejection can be beneficial because it can produce self-examination and increased determination. Yet, in an industry that is very subjective to culture and personal preferences, writers have to face this consistently. There is great pain in producing what you consider your ‘best’ only for someone to reject it for varying reasons. This disappointment can rob the writer of his courage and confidence.Though deadlines, debts, and disappointments await the writer, the one who believes in himself and his work will persevere into success. So, do not allow this deadly trio to stop you from pursuing your passion to write. Stay committed knowing that every successful author had to contend with the same obstacles. If they overcame and achieved success, you can too.

all writers are liars and violate the 2nd commandment against graven images. electronic communication is the only safe way to still be a jew and a christian at the same time. if you don't count keystrokes as engravings.
all writers are going to hell to be incinerated until they can no longer write, because writing is a sin, or exist, because existing is a sin (look it up in the greek, yo)
it will be the best day of their lives, because they will be leaving existence altogether, because solomon, the famous molech worshipper and philanderer wrote so.
and some other writer translated it into a completely different language based on someone else's sayso.
if you haven't been born again, you'll probably go to hell just for not reading this
@tst08@xanga - You're an American, aren't you? Let me quess, you're a redneck protestant just out of the hills somewhere.
There again, you may be a great write of sardonic humour. I spluttered and dropped the sheep. Don't ask.
I can relate!
So true..
Awesome post and so true! Thanks for writing this!
