Joy. What a word! It is one of the most subjective emotions we have. Everyone finds joy in different things. For me, joy is sharing with others. Whether that is my food. My writing. My crochet. My life. My plants. When someone enjoys something I have to offer, it incites joy within the very depths of me. I radiate. I smile. I find happiness.
One of the challenges in writing is escaping the mundane tasks - especially as an Indie author. You write. You edit. You revise. You edit. You format. You advertise. The list goes on and on.
But you must find joy.
I have read the histories of artists like Van Gogh who were so tortured from life. They create AMAZING works, but suffered so much in the process. I can relate, but I find that seeking joy in the things I do helps create a better mentality and better work. That should be our ultimate goal as humans - finding joy and happiness in all we do.
