Re: Re: Writing is scary
I have no great fear of writing. I love it. Still, I do not write often. I don't because I have a
million things I believe I am obliged to do (whether I am or not). There simply aren't
enough hours in a day. If I could have my wish writing would be what I would do from
sun-up to sun-down every single day.

...for at least a few years...

I simply love too many things to stay committed much longer than that while devoting all
of my energies.

My only other problem with writing is the fact that I am constantly re-writing my own work.
Usually before I get halfway done with one story. Oh! I forgot. Another problem I have is
that I start new stories before I finish the last one I was working on. For example, I think
that the number of stories I am currently in the middle of writing (or rewriting) is around
ten. And they could all become novels with enough time and effort. (Probably not very
good novels necesarily, but I write for myself; not you people or anyone else.)

(Sorry, I think I'm in kind of a grouchy mood. Blame the Dayquil.)
