Being an online writer can be difficult. Especially when you're still in high school, have a job, and do extracurricular activities.

Some times we have good weeks where our topic just comes to us and we can sit and write about it with no problem. Then there's weeks when it's already Thursday night and you haven't even started and it's due Friday night.

You can't write during school becasue you need to focus on your actual school work. So that's 8 hours we can't write. Then there practice after school. Another 3 hours we can't write. And some days we have work. So about 6 hours without access to a computer or phone.

I'm not sure if it gets any easier after high school and into college, but I do know that it's a struggle to keep up with every deadline during your senior year of high school. We have senior pictures and money to turn in, projects, forms, and basically 100 other things.

For some people writing can be an escape from all that, and that's what it is too me. But as soon as school started it got harder to keep up with my writing. I love writing, it keeps my mind off of anything negative going on in my life, but here lately it's just been another stressor.

I love my crazy unorganized life and I wouldn't drop a single thing. I can't give up writing even though it's not always as easy as it seems. Even if I don't continue writing online I'll always have my own collection of articles and stories.

Online writing isn't always easy but when people start reading and sharing your stories it really means a lot.
