Some people here would be fantastic writers, if they would just find their

I am not doing all I can, because I let some work related rejection crush my spirit for awhile. It will come back. The other thing that stands in my way is a lack of organization. My husband has tons of confidence in me, so I will keep on, and I will succeed.

Hmmm.... it's funny though. I used to love writing. I consider it an outlet for all my frustrations. However, when I started working as a writer, my job as a writer has ironically turned into the greatest hindrance to my passion. I'm all so worked up writing things for my clients (who have ridiculous demands sometimes especially when it comes to keyword density) that I no longer have the drive to write my own original content when I have the time. I noticed my blogs have become shorter compared to the ones I used to write before i had this job. But, well, I need this. I agree though. As long as people write about their passions, their outputs will always be fantastic! That's because they have the interest and they truly enjoy what they are doing.

I have always had a dream of becoming a published author... since I was a teenager. It wasn't until I developed fibromyalgia 12 years ago that I seized the opportunity to follow my dream. The biggest step I took was joining a writing group. Because of that I have received lots of feedback, gone to workshops and seminars, met some award-winning authors, and have put more time and effort into reaching my dream. I have a passion for writing. I think it's always been there. When my father passed away my sister's eulogized him as being a man of words, including writing. I knew he was quite the comedian but I never thought of him as a writer. My one sister said it was because of him that I became a writer... Wow! I didn't even know it! My father has continued to contact me from the other side, pushing me to accomplish my dream. I will not let him down or myself.

I love to write about activism and politics. Typical things, like trees and sunsets, don't really do anything for me. Although, they're supposed to be poetic inspiration for humanity. I guess I'm not your typical human. But I love, as I said, to write poetry about atypical poetry subjects.

I'm firm believer in enthusiasm and I hope it shows in some of my writing. It can help the reader to have a positive response to a subject, and can give them some encouragement, or even change their view about something. I write with passion on both my blogs. I am more disciplined when writing articles, but even article writing can benefit sometimes from enthusiasm. I often express my love of life in my responses at myLot, and on one of my blogs I write mostly about life, always in a positive way.

I am a very passionate person especially when it comes to my life and others who I care about, but I do find it difficult to write about these people and myself even using characteristic for characters. And trust me I definitely have a strong base of character types in my life. I have learned over the years to think before I speak and have found out that I can pretty much see where something will lead so I can prevent hurt feelings, but at the same time I did overkill on it and I have squelched my voice. I know I am a writer because I see stories everywhere. I ask a lot of questions and I can see both sides of everything. I know my voice is lost because I have a lot of responsibilities that wear me down so when I do get a chance I try my best to write. Currently I am working on a story that I can see progressing and it is inpired by someone I know. So hopefully this time it will keep going. So I guess you can say i do have an issue with expressing these things and I am trying to get that joy back into my life.

I've never considered myself a writer. Can do ok on myLot but don't think my articles written for Hubpages have been anything special. What I like to write about don't appeal to many people. They are: adoption and crafts. I was adopted as a baby and love to work on crafts. My 3 prize possessions are our daughters and now their children. Can only talk/brag about the family so much and then everyone gets turned off. To start a discussion about our almost 4 yr. old grandson and the funny things he says to me on the phone would only bore others. My imagination is rather wild but it's difficult to put my thoughts in writing at times.

It seems a little strange to call myself a "writer" yet I've been writing since I was in high school. I am not sure it is a passion. But I will say that since I discovered Helium and Associated Content, I've been writing alot. Writing doesn't come all that easily for me, I have to work at it. Sometimes, I have to stop working on one writing project and go to work on another, just to give my brain a break.
