To be honest with you, the inspiration of becoming an author or writing was unknown for so long.
Then after bundling up few questions and answers, someone stands up and asks, ‘Could you please tell us what or who your inspiration is?’
Guess My Answer?
My answer is
GOD
Times came when people were like “Your works are going nowhere, you’ll not be able to complete the work”, etc. All those quotes are challenges to show them that you know what you’re doing.
I started this journey as a young kid and as someone who was always 20% sure of my ideas. I would write a book of like 20 pages,then give friends for review. As usual,there will be likes and dislikes. Even with the range of likes being high,I would still have great doubt in myself and eventually tear the entire script. Like I said, I was always 20% sure.
At that time,I was just a kid. But as I grew and as time went on, I realised the fact that, mockery of a particular work by people is not really MOCKERY, it’s the MOTIVATION you’ll need to push further.
Here is the point;
Walk away from those who keep trying to promote your failure or who have labelled themselves as the backbenchers of success.
