To Thy Own Self Be True

Writing is not all about epic novels. Sometimes, we just feel like writing a short story, a blog, or even a few comments about what is on our minds. That's fine, just fine!

The world would have us think we are not accomplishing anything unless we have books in print. Says who? The actual person who has books in prints or the one who wishes s/he had books in print? We'll probably never know the answer to that question, except to know that a lot of hot air is floating around these days that has nothing to do with the weather.

If you can stand to read one more person's opinion, here is mine: "To thy own self be true." That is, if you just have a few words you want to post on social media, that's fine. If you have a short story begging to come out, that's fine. If you would rather join the YouTubers who ride trains, fly planes, and build tiny houses, that's fine. Just be true to yourself.

As for me, I'm glad these words came to mind this morning. I need to read them and remember them on those days when the words just won't come.
