Writing and Living
We dedicated writers also have to live. Sometimes living seems to make writing impossible. Interruptions are never ending. Illnesses can be a problem. Household chores definitely never end. Some of us even have to work at some job to pay the bills, and we usually hate it that we do. Yet, somehow, we keep going. Then, add to it that, once we've written something we think is pretty good, it's almost impossible to get it published. Are we insane? Let me know, please.
We are probably insane, but given what passes for sane in this society, I'm okay with that!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging!
I'm up early today, earlier than the rest of the family--everyone else is still sleeping. So, I may get a little time to write. They say writing is a lonely endeavor. It is, in more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Shannon, I thought I was posting a new blog. But thank you for your comment. It makes me feel better...I think. I hope everything's okay with you and yours. (I'm still learning how this thing works.)
ReplyDeleteInsanity is weird to many people.
ReplyDeleteBut those weird ppl have a type of brain that we can click and read together.
