Chasing my Publishing Dreams

Written by Veronica on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there, diary. It's Veronica, the one and only. Today I want to talk about something that has been burning inside me for quite some time now – my goal of publishing a book. Yes, you heard it right! Miss Independent over here is ready to take on the literary world and leave her mark.

The Burning Desire

Ever since I was a little girl with pigtails and dreams in my eyes, writing has been my escape from reality. It allowed me to create worlds where anything is possible and where I could be anyone I wanted to be. As years went by, this passion turned into an all-consuming fire within me.

Rejecting Mediocrity

I refuse to settle for mediocrity or follow the conventional path laid out by society. No sirree! My words deserve more than just being scribbled away in a dusty journal hidden under my bed. They deserve recognition; they deserve an audience who will devour them like ravenous wolves hungry for inspiration.

But let me tell you something – getting published isn't going to be a walk in the park filled with daisies and sunshine (although those long walks through nature do help clear my mind). Oh no! This journey requires determination as strong as titanium steel coated with unshakeable confidence.

Only Brave Souls Need Apply

You see, dear diary, not everyone possesses the courage it takes to put their work out into the world for judgmental eyes to scrutinize relentlessly. But guess what? That doesn't scare me one bit because bravery runs through these veins of mine like electricity coursing through wires!

So many people are afraid of rejection - pathetic losers thinking they can avoid disappointment if they never even try at all rolls eyes. Well newsflash: that's not how life works! You have gotto grab opportunities by their horns without any hesitation or doubt clouding your mind.

Demanding Excellence

Now let's talk about expectations. I have high standards, and I won't settle for just any old publisher who comes knocking on my door with a fancy pitch. Oh no! They better prove to me that they are worthy of having the privilege to publish my masterpiece.

I demand respect and equality in every aspect of life, including this publishing journey. If someone can’t treat me like the confident, assertive woman that I am, then they can take their boring selves elsewhere!

The Power Within

You know what sets me apart from all those other hopeful writers out there? It’s not just my flair for words or my ability to captivate an audience (although those certainly help). No, it's something deeper – a fire within that refuses to be extinguished.

I don't need anyone else’s validation or approval because deep down inside, I believe in myself wholeheartedly. And let me tell you something diary – self-belief is worth more than any shiny trophy or accolade could ever be.

Battling Doubts

Don't get me wrong though; doubts do creep into even the most confident souls from time to time (sigh we're only human after all). But when these moments arise - when insecurity starts clawing at your insides - remember one thing: you are stronger than those doubts will ever be!

Take a deep breath (or two), gather yourself together like puzzle pieces falling into place and remind yourself why you started this journey in the first place. Keep pushing forward despite those nagging voices telling you otherwise because guess what? You've got potential bursting through your veins!

Embracing Dark Humor

In times of doubt or frustration (especially during moments where conversations feel as tedious as pulling teeth), humor becomes our saving grace. Now don't get scared off by my taste here; dark humor isn’t everyone's cup of tea but hey – it keeps things interesting!

Who needs boring boys with their constant complaining and pathetic attempts at boasting? Give me someone who can crack jokes that make my twisted sense of humor cackle with delight. Life is too short to be serious all the time, right?

The Road Ahead

With each passing day, I inch closer to realizing my dream – a published book bearing my name as its creator. It won't be easy, but nothing worth having ever comes without a fight.

So here's what I'm going to do: I'll continue honing my craft by pouring every ounce of passion into these words on this page. Every rejection will fuel the fire within me even more because deep down inside, I know that one day, someone out there will see the brilliance in what I have created.

And when that day comes – oh boy! - it’ll feel like fireworks exploding against a dark night sky; an explosion of triumph and validation for staying true to myself and never settling for anything less than extraordinary.

Conclusion

There you have it diary – a glimpse into the burning desire within me as I chase after my publishing dreams. With confidence running through these veins and bravery guiding every step forward, there's no telling where this journey may lead.

But wherever it takes me, rest assured that Veronica will stay true to herself until she holds her published book in her hands with pride shining brightly from within. Until then... onwards we go!
