the hubpages rollercoaster, my first week on hubpages
It started in the classifieds
While looking for some work
I don’t want to be a waitress
A Bartender or a clerk
Suddenly it caught my eye
Here was something new
A writing opportunity
For me to pursue.
Now I’m up late at night,
And early in the morning
Every time I turn around
I find my brain is swirling.
Ideas flitting here and there
Distracting and evading
Thoughts are popping everywhere
Brilliant and then fading
I’m waking up at 3 am
New stories in my head
I have to get it all out
I have to find a pen
Sleep is an illusion
I’m not getting any rest
This writing thing’s addicting
I want to do my best.
The next day I am up at dawn
Excited as can be
I can’t wait to post my hub
For everyone to see
I have to get it out there
Before my courage is gone
Don’t know why I’m so nervous
But I have to carry on
I’m getting nothing done at all
The laundry’s piled high
There are dirty dishes in the sink
And the cat ate my pie
Depression now is setting in
Discouragement and worry
What if no one likes my hubs
Or no one reads my story
I’m checking my statistics
Every minute or two
Hoping for some comments
Or a follower like you
I’m reading all the other hubs
Comparing them to mine.
Wondering if I’m good enough
Or if I should resign.
I wish that I was funny
And not so serious
Then everyone would like me
I would be hilarious
But instead I’m going crazy
On this rollercoaster ride
Can anybody tell me
Is this normal or am I just fried?
