Why Do Writers Do What They Do?

Writing is a way of expressing emotions without the consequence that usually follows...

Why do writers write? Writers seem to be one of the most passionate of all career people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I have never met an author who says I hate my job. Now why is that?

I believe that writing is a way of opening up to the world. Normally shy people can for once in their life put on a different act and be the person they have always wanted to in a book. It is a way of living out a fantasy, a way of expressing emotions that you may never get to experience in real life. Writers portray dreams. They show a side of things that can only be described with mystical explanations.

Writing to me is a way to vent. I sit at my computer and think about all of the bad things that have happened, and I tell people about them.

When I write I can connect with so many different people that I normally wouldn't be able to and those people understand, because if they didn't, they would not have read it.

Many people write because they like to inform people. They like to be the source of facts, whether it's to help people or be a source of entertainment. Writers come in many shapes and sizes, and so many varieties. One person could write a self help story that could change your life, while another could write a news story to present life that has already occurred.

No matter what kind of writing you choose to do, as long as you write about something you're passionate about then you will find your way. You need to love the story in order for it to be it's best because if you can portray passion, then your readers can't feel it.

Life.

An old piece I felt was worth reading:

 I am sitting here thinking about how much energy it takes to be a teenager. Shouldn't these be the easiest years of our lives. I mean come on, no bills, no kids, no responsibility. But it doesn't end up like that. You get a car .Responsibility. A new job because you just turned sixteen. Responsibility. You get a new boy. The biggest responsibility. My mom told me today, as of now, this will be your last summer that you will be able to just hang out. You shouldn't worry about getting a job. Once you get old, you will have to worry enough about those kinds of things. So why don't us teenagers just relax, take life as it comes, and not worry about the stupid things that life throws at us because one day in our lives, we will look back and realize. Wow. I had it so easy back then. I regret not taking advantage of that. So live life, don't regret anything. Because everything that you are doing right now no matter how small, will effect the way your future turns out. 

They can ruin our lives and not even know it...

I'm sitting here thinking of how much I care about this kid. I have never felt this way before. I'm scared though, it seems too good to be true. Nothing in my life ever works out like this. For a little while everything may seem okay but it always falls apart. My family, my friends. I'm doubting my faith in this. Oh but I can't deny how much it breaks my heart that these issues are surfacing. Her opinion matters no matter how much you may deny it. I am not worth it. I am not worth your families relationships or the creation of more drama. Please, understand. You know how it works. We all do. In the end they have the last word. Boy, how I feel for you is indescribable. And I cry everytime I think about it. I can't lose you but is that what it takes? To make them happy. You have been everything and more to me. You have made me happy for the first true time in years. But don't they say "Nothing gold will stay"?

Life's questions.

I would like to start answering specific questions for people. Leave me a comment if there is something you would like me to give my advice about. I write at least one post a day and would love to have some ideas on what to right about.

Keep your head up

It is your choice....

How true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.

A young Dr. Phil

Many people in my life have come to me for advice and ended up successful in their journeys in life. I have never been any less than straight to the point. Along the way I remember being told "Courtney you should have your own talk show, like Dr. Phil". Well, I'm not there yet and life probably won't take me in that direction but for now, I want to be an example. I want to do the right thing and be a guide for young adults who are going through the same things. It isn't always easy for people my age to find someone to talk to. You leave the comfort of High School where you have known everyone your entire life, you get a job and go off to college and face stresses you have never felt before, and you don't always know where to turn. I can be that. I want my followers to ask me things. I want to interact with people and do my best to teach from my personal experience. I know that I am  young and that may turn people away from my opinion, but my life has not been a smooth ride. I have fought custody battles with my parents, lost jobs, lived off Ramon noodles, and struggled with my health and healthcare. I won a battle over drugs and an abusive relationship and I have been stabbed in the back by my best friend of 10 years in the worst of ways. I have done more growing up in the last 6 years than I ever think I will do in my life again. I now at the age of twenty, own a house (nice two bedroom starter in the suburbs), go part time to school to become a nurse (A year and a half left), work two jobs, and have been in a successful four year relationship with the sweetest man alive that would give his life for me. Now if you could only see what I have come from, you wouldn't doubt me. I will never say that I had a bad childhood. What I did, I did to myself. The mistakes that I made were not those of my parents or friends. They were choices that I had made and I now take full responsibility for that. My parents were normal middle class parents and I went to a good school. I rebelled.

I want to be a shoulder to lean on to when you have no where else to turn. I want to stop the problem in it's tracks before anyone ever even gets to the point that I was at in my life. It was scary, and I almost lost my life. I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy. I will do my best to give the most honest and straight forward advice that I possibly can. And if I can be there just to lend a hand then my job is done.

The whole social network scene...

Well after two days of non stop promoting, the social networking scene has not been nice to me.

I figured at least a few people would be willing to lend a hand and give some input on my writing but it seems like no one is interested in reading yet. So I will have to make you all interested. Today I start writing about specific topics on life. Personal stories and advice in the eyes of a awkward girl. That is my direction. 

Day one.

Relationships

In this topic I am going to talk both about my personal experiences with relationships and my advice on making one work. I'm not saying that what comes out of my mouth is always right, but I will do my best to help someone learn from my mistakes. Because those sucked.

Right now I am in a four year relationship with my best friend. We bought a house two years ago and that has been the majority of my rough experiences so far. I knew my boyfriend for two and a half year before we started dating. That gave us the opportunity to know that we were compatible before we ever took the dive. Lesson number one:

 Your boyfriend CAN be your best friend.

A lot of people say that if you are with a friend then the relationship lacks a certain "passion". That is not the case. Him and I love and trust each other. If anything we try that much harder to work our problems out because we know we can't lose our friendship.

I'm not saying that dating your best friend is easy by any means. We all have our issues in our relationships and I won't deny that and say mine was better, but our extremely close bond as friends has saved us countless times.

Lesson number two:

Couples fight. Get over it.

No two people are ever going to be 100% happy together all the time. It is normal to think about how things "could" be but to fix that you must accept that it is a normal feeling. Whenever you start to feel yourself wander you need to take yourself back to the beginning and re-realize what it felt like when the two of you first met. The butterflies. The excitement. Every relationship after a while is going to feel like it is getting boring. It is up to you to make sure that doesn't happen. Try new things. Find a groupon and try a new random restaurant in the area for a great deal. There are always adventures to take and it will make the two of you feel closer together.

Couples that don't fight are not always happier. What I have realized through my relationship is that I am happier after I make up with my boyfriend then when our relationship is constantly stagnant. It brings a kind of passion and bond between the two of you knowing that you can make it through anything.

Lesson number three:

You don't always have to be right...

Sometimes a woman likes to keep fighting until the man is on his knees begging for forgiveness. It doesn't have to be that way. There always needs to be just as much push as pull. Sometimes it is just easier to accept that you want the fight to end then continue fighting for a purpose you won't remember in a month. When it comes down to it. Walk away. Breathe. And think about whether it is really worth it, because most of the time...Its not. 

Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think....

Oh Christmas Time...

This happens to be one of the most stressful times of the year for people. Two weeks left and no money to buy my family gifts. I'm going to have to pull some cheap sentimental tricks out to make it through this one. 

I had been planning on going to Florida with my entire family for Christmas this year. They rented a beach house and I am dying to get out of this Michigan weather but again life got in the way. I am pretty bummed about it but life happens. I try not to get disappointed about the little things like that because I know things could be so much worse and I am grateful for that. Many worse things are going to happen in my life at some point so I might as well not sweat the petty stuff .

Update today I got my first order for my cosmetics. I can't believe how excited I was to see a simple $5 addition to my account. I have been trying to get my blog some notice but this stuff takes time I know.

Hopefully my life is not as boring as it seems and someone will find this interesting to read. 

Either way. Sometimes people just need to vent. I think that is what this has become for me. A way to get my voice out without the confrontation that usually comes with it. I am able to be me. I can have a REAL voice.

For the first time in my life. I am not afraid to just be me.

Well I really hope this works out...

So now it's 8am and I'm sitting here doing more advertising even after the last straight 36 hours that I have spent up doing it. I appreciate all of the people who have been following my blog through twitter. You guys are amazing. 

I realize I have not told you too much about myself...

Here it goes....

I am twenty years old and I live in downriver, Michigan. Just a little south of the city. I grew up on an island on the Detroit River. It has great schools and no one ever needs to lock their doors...It was a great childhood.

My parents divorced when I was 7 years old. I was a daddy's girl growing up by all means. My mother and I did not get along as much as I wanted to. We butt heads and of course I was becoming a teen and that's where the trouble really began.

I started dating a boy (he shall not be named) who was into very bad things and hung out with very bad people. In the matter of 6 months I went from being a optimistic loving person, to a drug induced zombie.I had a 3.8 my sophomore year of high school and by my junior year it went down to a 1.7. I ended up in the hospital at one point because I was so delusional my parents thought I would overdose.

My parents are the only reason I survived. They stood by me through everything and their tough love has saved my life.

My father has always put a lot of pressure on me in my life. My first year of college I was so proud to get my first set of grades and show him...I got a 3.94. Do you know what he said? "You couldn't have got .06 better?" I love him more than anything and I believe that it caused me a lot of stress growing up but I am the over achieving person that I am today because of it.

As of today I have overcome so many obstacles and began to make something out of myself and I am proud to be the person that I am today.

I have been with my boyfriend now for 4 years and 2 years ago we bought our first house. I wish someone would have warned it that it wasn't as easy as it sounded. I never knew something could be so stressful.

So here I am 18 years old, off to college to become a nurse like I have always wanted and a cute little house in the suburbs with an amazing man. What could go wrong...

Ha. Well my dreams came crashing down when I realized how much effort it really takes to be an adult.

I went from having every dream in the world, to selling cosmetics online for commission. 

I had to slow down going to school because the bills were so much more than I could have ever imagine...So I got a job as a bartender and made so much money that I didn't know what to do with it. I was working two jobs and going to school only one day a week. Then hell broke loose and after two years of dealing with drunk alcoholics for bosses, I couldn't take the criticism. My boss actually had the nerve to call me fat and lazy. I am 5'5' and I weigh approx. 120. Not fat. So I quit. I left my second family there and started adventure number two.

I went out and before the week was over I had found another two jobs. One is only open on the weekend and one is open all week. So weekdays I would work one and weekends I would work one.

After six weeks, the one during the week still had not and would not pay me.

And that leads me to today...Sitting on the couch advertising online cosmetics for commission because I am once again struggling to be an adult.

I do not have much of a direction with what I write other than I promise it will never be a lie and it will follow my life and show you the realities of growing up as a young adult in suburbia.

Is there a direction you would like to see this go in....Give me your feedback. I would love to know what you think!? Maybe my life as a bartender....That would definitely be a nice long story everyday.

Oh the things that I will do....

Why does life have to revolve around money....

It is a never ending cycle in which we will never escape from.

I know that I am happy without it, as most people should be. but it's hard to be happy knowing that your gas bill is coming next week and you can't possibly get enough hours at work to cover it.

Then on top of that, everyone knows what I mean when I say it's always something...It sure is.

So the story of my life. A winding circle of work and bills.

I have everything I could have ever asked for especially at my age. Most people say that I am mature for my age but I was just raised by responsible adults whereas god only knows who is raising today's kids.

I know that my life isn't perfect but the man of my dreams is at my side. I have a roof over my head. Two pets that are like my children, and a wonderful family that would help me if they had it.

I am now selling cosmetics from home while attempting to finish school so my life can untwist.

That is my story. And if you would like to continue following the crazy twisted story of a young female attempting to do the right thing in a city with no jobs (Detroit) and no way out...I would love to continue sharing....

Social Networking and growing a business.

I am a twenty year old student right now trying and I have been paying on a mortgage for two years now.

This is how the story goes...I was working at a bar (I won't name names), they were like family to me, but they never appreciated the hard work and dedication that I put into my job. I loved every second of it. After screaming at me in front of my customers, I put my 2 week notice in and without even a goodbye or a thank you I left my second home and started picking my brain for ways to pay the bills.

Well. I put probably 1000 applications in with no success. (Come on this is Michigan)

So I finally found a job bartending at another place but it is only a weekend gig. 

I have decided that I am going to try to go back to school full time in order to finish getting my nursing degree. I should already have it by now but money was the issue. I had no time to go to full time to classes when I was working 7 days a week and taking one class already.

So as I was surfing the internet I realized maybe I can find a way to make a little extra money from home, and remembered that an old friend used to sell Avon.

I have an edgy side to me and it would have been a lie for me to promote a product that I would never buy...Until I stumbled across Mark. cosmetics and accessories. It is affiliated with Avon but it is a new line that is marketed towards young adults. Avon with a little edge.

So here I am today to make my plea...

I am just starting out in this and I have never done it before so starting from the ground up can be a difficult process.

All I am asking is that a few people take a quick peek at the site and let me know what you think about the products.

You don't have to make a purchase, all I want is some opinions and to get my name out there.

I do host cosmetic parties in the Downriver Michigan area and I am willing to send hard copy catalogs to anyone that is interested if you just shoot me a quick email with you name and address.

If you are not comfortable with that then I can also add you to me online email mailing list where you will receive monthly updates on new products, specials, and online coupon codes.

All I need is a name and email.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help.

Courtney

I also appreciate any tips and/or advice that anyone has to offer.

And this is how it all starts....

So...It's just another day or so I thought, when my boyfriend announces to me that he no longer wants to do the work he has been preparing for forever. Wow that one hit me hard. It was supposed to make our lives easier I thought. 
Well I am a bartender as you may know, so money doesn't always come easy and it's not a very reliable job.
I decided to start putting in applications..Failure.
I thought for sure that out of the 60 resumes I sent out I would get at least one phone call. But I didn't.
So here I am...
That leads me to a path of social network marketing. A someone stressful job for someone without much patience but I figured what could go wrong.

It is now day two....
I have been up for 2 straight days now advertising, socializing, and tweeting.
Not one sale. NOT ONE.

Well I think it's time to take a small break but I will update later on my progress.
