Week 24 - Why Do I Do It?

from Confessions of a Working Writer Hosted by Matt Hampton

Yesterday I set out to record a podcast episode with notes ready to go and a big ole bag of enthusiasm to share with the world. But then a lot of things went wrong and nothing got recorded. In the night between then and now, as I was preparing for a new recording, I found myself asking why I am working so hard at something that doesn't pay me, doesn't make me famous, and a lot of people don't seem to care about. But I am a writer, and this struggle is nothing new. Sometimes we have to just do and enjoy the things we love. Join me for a new episode in Season 2 of Confessions of a Working Writer to hear the whole story. Also, make sure to check out this week's recommendation from Matt - The Contribute Your Verse Podcast with Host Derek Berry.
