Stupid reasons for not writing, but the are powerful enough to keep me away from it. <BR/><BR/>Then I wonder if writing is what I really want to do, since, if it was what I really wanted to do, then I would already be doing it, instead of dreaming about it.<BR/><BR/>I am trying to write, but I keep falling off the horse.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466885792177930052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20447441.post-3758955491343834212009-04-10T11:02:00.000+01:002009-04-10T11:02:00.000+01:00I see writing as a luxury that I can actually affo...I see writing as a luxury that I can actually afford. It is a treat but it can also be a punishment, i.e. now I'm trying to work on my book, Graham is pressurising me and that is stressing me out. I don't see my writing as a product though, nor do I consider it art, I think of it as a by-product of my existence. I think you should stop thinking about writing alltogehter and just write.CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17555431785204713112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20447441.post-69937377620879530072009-04-08T19:34:00.000+01:002009-04-08T19:34:00.000+01:00Yuo are blessed to love writing.

I, on the other hand, am cursed with the love of dreaming of writing. sigh.<BR/><BR/>I have spent the last two weeks trying to ween myself of the romantic notion of writing as an indulgence which will shower me with great blessing sand instead trying to look at it as a vocation. A job. Something I have to do. Produce a transient product to be consumed instead a permanent object to be admired.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466885792177930052noreply@blogger.com
