Updates, and on writing

I haven't done any journal updates in a long time - hello thar.
Christmas was lovely, just my immediate family + my brother's fiance, and I love my gifts. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new cooling pad for my laptop. It's supposed to get here on the fifth :eager: "On Writing" by Stephen King was from my brother, and it was awesome. I'll probably reread it sometime because I rocketed through it; it made me so excited to write, and there was so much good advice and encouragement in there. Not so much because was a big book-length pep talk (it wasn't, really) but because the things King wrote I took as encouraging. The way he describes

Jay Leno's monologues are sort of annoying me lately; his humor is often based on irritating, outdated gender stereotypes, misinformation, and generally being old - he definitely acts older than I remembered last time I watched the Tonight Show.
...My day was awesome, though xD I feel very active. Things have been really great for me lately. I have more energy, I feel up for taking on more projects and things - and hopefully that will include a job in the near future! I continue to search for employment.

Dear jiu jitsu instructor,
Your class overflows with innuendo as it is without you using euphemisms like "Come in through the back door."

Your avatar is so beautiful
Thanks for that information 
Yeah it's interesting, I like quotes given by famous creatives like that; in all areas of the arts.
Additionally it's always inspiring to get it off from extremely talented and successful figures such as Stephen King; I'd like to read some of his books but I never get the chance to!
I'm a graphic designer and I often need inspiration and a good portfolio because, in my industry, there are many cases where one is just another face in the crowd and those who stand out; I really want to be one of those whose work captures the attention of the design world and that quote you provided is relevant to my situation, very much so

Er - forgot to add this, might clarify: what King said encouraged me because he's an insanely talented and successful author, and the fact that he felt that same shame/insecurity (as the context around that quote, in the book, explained) seems to me to mean that it's not our (writers') problem, it's theirs (the naysayers).
I have no idea what sort of motivation you need, but I just read this gem today (from my Christmas present, actually, a copy of On Writing by Stephen King) "I think I was forty before I realized that almost every writer of fiction and poetry who has ever published a line has been accused of wasting his or her God-given talent. If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose), someone will try to make you feel lousy about it, that's all" (King). I often struggle with feeling like my interests, my personal bundle of human talents, are not the worthwhile ones and that I should do something else, or in some way be working harder. Again, I don't know what you struggle with yourself, but this line encouraged me greatly. Hopefully it'll do something positive for you too?
