Doing the Write Thing August 28, 2007
Posted by Jen in : Journal , 26 commentsI am feeling very lucky today. While the rest of the country appears to be bombing full pelt in their cars from one place they don’t want to be to another they’d rather not be going, I am huddled in my thermal pyjamas and one of lovely bf’s huge, huge fleeces that almost comes down to my knees.
I am sitting under the gazebo, writing, writing, writing, as the rain rustles the apple tree leaves. Huge, scowling clouds are grazing the tops of the trees in the woods on the other side of the valley.
The house is empty and I have smoked salmon and scrambly eggs to look forward to for lunch.
I am happy. But. I need to pull my finger out and make some money. Write some short stories. Send them off. Write more. Write better. Write even more and better than that!
I can’t bear the thought of having to give this up and go back to ‘real life’. I’m gonna do it you know. I really, really am. See? I’ve written it down now, so I have to.
