You must want it…more than television, more than shopping and socializing and even sometimes sleep. It’s the work that brings the vision to life. And yet a balance must be maintained as well. Thoughts?
I hear you, Kris…it’s not been pretty around my house these last few weeks, either.
Between work for the day job (not happening much at home and therefore building up at an alarming rate), work related to the launch of Moose Tracks on the Road to Heaven, attending the wake and funeral of a dear friend’s mother more than an hour away over the weekend, and holiday-related things, I have about seven balls up in the air at once, and all of them are hitting me in the head! π
This is true. Writing, like any profession requires skill, skill is acquired through training. There are people out there with gifts, but they view them more as a hobby than a career.
“How do you get to Carnegie Hall?”
“Practice, practice, practice.”
