TPA 63 Writing Heroes 2

I think I'll stop after this one. I've written a lot today and it's messing with my brain. No wonder writting takes so much out of you. It boggles the mind. But there are two people I want to nominate as my heroes for writing, my parents. I know that the Author's Way mentions how family can hinder your ambitions and I believe it. I wouldn't say my parents weren't supportive but they did have their doubts about me. I think they're a little over protective because I'm autistic but I'm probably reading that wrong. Maybe they just love me. My mom read my first story about RTF and it was a dozzie of a work. I think I lost it somewhere in my computer but it serves as the basis for my RTF universe. Later on, I would write my slime girl mini book and she would read that one as well. I sent the same copy to my dad and, being an English major, graded it. Both helped me in their own way and I'm grateful for that. It means a lot to have someone sit down and read what you've written, especially if you don't think much of it. I think I'm getting close to the point of letting that part of me go. I don't think of my work as bad anymore, but it does need work. I just need a good story and a break so I can emerge into the writing world. It certainly took Stephen King a long time, but I'm getting off track. My mom praised my story and I even dedicated it to her and my writing coach. 

It's hard to write sometimes because the path before you doesn't have an end. You will endlessly take another step with each lesson you learn but the each step only makes the path seem longer. So, it's likely better to enjoy the journey rather than think about what lies at the end. Even a completed story is but a stop on the road.
