500 Words A Day
Ray Bradbury wrote a thousand words a day starting at age 9. The first work he felt truly satisfied with he released when he was 25. Given that I write only about 500 words a day and have been at it now for 5 years, I will likely be 98 years old before I have produced a piece of writing that truly satisfies me.
I don’t let that discourage me. I’m not Ray Bradbury. I don’t have his skill with language or his creativity, but that’s okay. We bring to the table what we have to offer. If what we bring is the best that we can produce at the moment, we have done our best. The real point is to keep going. The only goal I have for myself is to continue channeling my creative expression. That’s enough. That, and good handwriting.
