Un-noticed

A writer's world is as big as his thoughts. Every sentence is squeezed out and put on paper sometimes so swiftly that they run into each other and must be disciplined by the writer himself. Rejection is common for all who write, and it's as common as an ink cartridge running out halfway through the final chapter.

A writer's life is lonely even though he has dozens of friends that he usually created by remembering someone he once knew but like those he remembered his characters often fade into nothing during the editing phase.

Writers have moments like most non-writers when words stay hidden, and offering conversation is rejected. The saving grace is writers will return with paragraph after paragraph while the non-writer will forget it and move on.

Writing isn’t a game or a hobby. It’s a way of life that, if not used, will cause an abundance of stories to overflow in your head and the chance of an embolism grows more with each un-written word.

The absolute worst thing any writer faces is knowing he has written some amazing things that went unnoticed. It's like driving down the coast and being the only one in the car that saw a school of white whales.
