“You Need to Write Every Day to be an Author” is the Worst Advice I Have Ever Heard.
“To be a better author you need to write every day.” I come across this advice almost every day and I’m sure we’ve all heard this advice as often as we’ve been told to look both ways before crossing the road. But, is this really the best way to become a better author?

Public Speaking
The temperature in that library had to be reaching 100 degrees. Oh, that’s right, they turn the air off in the summer to conserve money. Every possible fold in my body was dripping sweat. I know my face and neck had to be “Fifty Shades of Red”. At least as red as a cherry red Firebird. Of course, I had to inherit rosacea from my mom and every time I get the least bit stressed, I tend to light up like a bright red-light bulb, lucky me.

Earning A Living As An Indie Writer
“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on”— Louis L’Amour. For any aspiring writer, venturing into freelance writing would be the best foot forward. We all know it's very hard if not impossible for a beginner in the publishing business to land a mega-deal with any publishing house. So, the only option you(we) have is starting small.

Once The Rain Stops.
Rainy days are always ingrained in my head. They were the days I enjoyed the most. I liked the feeling of raindrops falling on my face, like freckles were being painted on. I always found it funny how cold by fingertips and toes would get, when normally my own body heat would roast me alive. I always got excited about finally getting to wear my favorite raincoat that is always buried deep in my closet. I enjoyed the way the Earth’s scent would seep into my clothes and linger for days. I loved the way the world always went silent, while the sky cried. Rainy days always made me happy because I finally had someone to cry with. It’s never apologetic about it isn’t it? Whatever outcomes lie afterwards. It doesn’t care if its storm wreaks havoc or if it creates a bountiful spring; it cries simply because it feels to do so. I always admired the Rain for that. Well, the Rain was all I had to admire for that.
