Sitting down to write,
edit, review, or any number of other writing jobs, one realizes that the
moments stolen from life can be brief. For most authors, writing time is jammed
between loads of laundry, crying babies, hungry husbands, and oftentimes, forty
hour a week jobs as well.
There has to be an
incredible burning and hunger to create stories. Or a severe case of masochism
to be a writer. And to be an agent if truth be told. :):):)
I’m going to keep it
simple today.
This is just a truth
that I shared with a young woman in a writers’ group many years ago. She asked
when she would be making a ton of money writing so she could quit the day job.
And I told her this: “You might not ever make a pile of money. So decide right
now if you are a writer. If you have to write as surely as you have to breathe,
then, and only then, are you truly a writer.”
Life stands in the way
many days, but if you can’t stop writing because of the burning in your soul, then
you are probably a writer.
