All I can say is I am clearly having problems with treating my writing like we’re in a relationship (A life-changing tip I gained from the book – Writing Begins with the Breath by Larraine Herring). Like Larraine said you would never expect to have a close relationship with a person you hardly talk to, but so many of us expect that we can do exactly that with our writing.
While I may manage to sit down and write more than twice a year, I still wouldn’t say that I am Pulitzer ready. There are too many long stretches where I don’t write daily, much less weekly. Too much daydreaming about the writing life, but dreading the process. It’s like envisioning your wedding, but feeling anxious about dating.
So, why don’t I feel like coming home to my writing everyday? Yes, this is a ridiculous sounding question – that, funny enough, deserves pondering.
While my topic may seem very self-indulgent (as most blogs are), truth is I’m describing a fundamental dilemma – the life path. We all have to find a way to do what we love and love what we do – this is key to personal fulfillment. So stop being afraid to pursue purpose – and I say this for you and me both. We are ALL here for a reason. Let people know.
