This is the newsletter subscription page for writer-editor Julia Temlyn's mid-monthly newsletter at WritersRemember.com.

Are you seeking encouragement in your writing journey? Are you feeling burnt out in the competitive world of writing?

Writers Remember is here to help you find yourself as a writer.

Writers Remember was born out of something my mother asked me once, regarding the similarities between myself and the heroine of one of my favorite books, Little Women.

"Do you ever feel a bit like Jo-- writing what pleases others and pays the bills?"

Just as Jo March, and her author-counterpart Louisa May Alcott, wrote what pleased the newspapers, gossip columns, and the like over 100 years ago, so do many writers today. We write articles and content for the internet, sometimes even compromising our values by deliberately butchering the English language in the name of search engine optimization. We might even write novels or stories that please others, but we feel nothing for the stories we've written, not even pride...more like numbness.

It is understandable--in our society money is important. Writers wish to have an income with which to support their families, and sometimes these online markets provide a quicker acceptance and payment than many larger magazines and websites, which often take up to a year to accept and pay. If you need money now, content writing can often be a singular option for those in need.

However, in our attempts to write for clips and quick cash, are we falling out of love with the writing process?

Have we forgotten what it feels like to scribble in a notebook, to collect our favorite words, to dream?

Perhaps we should take a few moments a day to pick up a pen with ink, and let the words flow from my our minds onto the paper. Write slowly, meaningfully, as we did when we first fell in love with the craft of writing.
