“I think that to write well and convincingly, one must be
somewhat poisoned by emotion. Dislike, displeasure, resentment fault-finding,
imagination, passionate remonstrance, a sense of injustice–they all make fine
fuel.” – Edna Ferber
FYI Writing is very hard, and no, I'm not just figuring it all out now, I thought it better to say aloud to get it off my chest. I don't think anyone chooses to write, if it's in you, it takes you and there is nothing you can do about it, so shut up and do as the voices say.
(I blurred the last line of the story, I have friends reading this blog, you know?)
I have two main reasons for writing this blog, firstly...
While I think it is pitiful that this
is my first post of the New Year, I do have a good reason, and that
reason is obviously writing related. In my previous post This Woman's Work I spoke about completing Nanowrimo. The
good news is I think so far I've been able to keep the discipline it enforced, by writing
consistently and swallowing back the excuses I've got a lot done, hence no
blog posts. I finished the Freak Shows!!!
