For the Love of Writing

DAY 50

Word Count:
32,377

Sentence of the Day: The idea lodged in his mind, like a stone in a stream.


In honor of Valentine's Day, here's a list of some of the things I love about writing.

1. I love escaping to a story world where I can take out my aggressions by killing off a character or two...and there's no felony involved.

2. I love that I get paid to slap down words on a page. Granted, that payment comes out to being about $.000002 per word, but hey...better than nothing.

3. I love the networking. It's a comfort to rub elbows with other freaks who also hear voices in their heads.

4. I love the dress code. I'll take pj's over panty hose any day.

5. I love hours. I can even write while dozing off. It doesn't make much sense, but at the time it seems brilliant.

So, what about you? What's one of the things you love about writing?

The same as yours, pretty much. I also love to see what predicaments my characters can get themselves into and laugh. Of course, the people in Starbucks think I'm certifiable as I sit in my corner and laugh all by myself. Maybe I need to rethink my writing spot. Naw. My muse likes the caffeine too much.

Hate to break it to you, dearest, but you ARE certifiable. And that's exactly what I love about you.

I love that it's able to be edited. I can't edit the words that are sometimes vomited out of my mouth, but if I make a mistake writing I just hit the delete button.

Whoa Polly...I know EXACTLY what you mean!
