Patience Is A Virtue

As many of you know, my goal in life is to be a writer. Its the reason I keep this blog, even though most of the people that read this know me on a first name basis. That's not the point. I write because I crave hearing a person's visceral reaction to something I've said. Be it in agreement or not, I crave that. And to get myself heard, I send in pieces tp websites in hopes I'll get published. Well, yesterday I got published! Yes, you read correctly. I got published.

I must say, it couldn't have come at a better time. I was starting to become a little disheartened with all the writing and not seeing anything come of it. Hell, to be perfectly honest, I even thought of putting down my pen. But then, theblackboxoffice.com thought my work was good enough to post on their site. (Check it out. Its the 'Love Jones' piece.) As I read the comments, I was so happy. Not all of them agreed with what I said, but I was happy that they had a freakin reaction.

So this going to sound cliche as hell, but if you have a dream, keep grinding on it until you produce babies. Because its the best feeling in the world to have your dreams realized and validated by people in the certain industry. They say patience is a virtue and I've never been a virtuous person, but I think I might have to start.
