If anyone is interested more about me (like, way more than you care to know) or just need a little motivation to keep you writing, here’s a summary of my writing journey. (Forgive me if I got a little “preachy” in the piece.)
Thank you E. Paige Burks (and Infinity Flower Publishing) for hosting me on your blog. I really enjoyed writing this piece.
Here’s a little snippet:
My Writing Journey – Perseverance – Joynell Schultz
The quote, “You are your own worst enemy,” sums up my writing journey and affects many artists. Heck, I think everyone struggles with this to one point or another.
As far back as I remember, I loved writing. My favorite part was looking at the finished product and saying, “Hey, I created that OUT OF NOTHING!” Each story always brought me some emotional satisfaction. The characters, their struggle, or just the way the plot was crafted. Not that I’m brilliant…far from it.
I think nearly anyone can write. It’s just a matter of how much work you’re willing to put into the story. It wasn’t until a little over a year ago I had this revelation.

Have a fantastic rest of your day!

Love your piece Joy. I can totally relate. So many times I told myself I wasn’t good enough. That I couldn’t write, but you know what, I carried on regardless and I too have a published book at the end of it. It’s all about perseverance. That drive to just keep going, despite self-doubt. Well done you!

Thanks Kelly! I’m glad you can relate, sometimes I feel so alone with my struggles. Great point. Despite wanting to give up so many times, we did put our books out there. 🙂
