DO IT ANYWAY!

It's no secret that I'm utterly addicted to American Idol! At least, I've mentioned it many times before on this blog! (Without American Idol, Lancaster House wouldn't have been written! Click here to read about it!)

At any rate, the new season of American Idol has begun. One contestant loves singing so much that he sings on trains while holding out his hat to collect money. Keith Urban, one of the new judges, mentioned that he did the same thing--anything to be able to sing. If he'd never made money singing, he'd still do it, because he loves it that much!

This is how I feel about writing. If I never become successful, if I never make a cent at my writing, I'll always be at my computer writing the next story in my head that's itching to be placed on paper. That's how much I love it! It's an added bonus that others love my writing as well. I'll always do it anyway, in spite of everything.

Sometimes when I'm feeling down, I listen to the song by Martina McBride, entitled, "Do it Anyway." It inspires me. Here are the words:

You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all YOUR heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
love em anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway, yeah,

You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway, yeah, yeah

I sing
I dream
I love anyway, yeah.


WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
