It has been years since writing at such a pace as I am now. I had forgotten what a lonely profession writing can be. My characters are interacting, having new experiences, and talking a lot, and I am lonely when they are not talking, and I'm not busy writing. It's a strange phenomenon, waiting for the company of your characters. I think that's why I've been writing so much.
Today is Wishcasting Wednesday and Jamie Ridler asks: "What do you wish to dare?"
These wishes are so wide open that almost anything can fit into them! I wish to engage life.. that is the first thing that came to my mind. That means leaving my house to do more than go grocery shopping, or for a drs. appointment, or to visit with my mom just occasionally. It's about getting out there... somewhere, anywhere, and engaging people... becoming "part of". I miss people much of the time, miss nature, miss life. Of course, I wasn't always like this, which is why I'm able to write stories.
My niece/god-daughter, is having a baby this month, and I look forward to that new life instilling life in me, as well.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you aslo Daring Barbara!

There is nothing that can connect you more then the www. For me that's true. I never would make it without my friends from all over the world.

ReplyDeleteI struggle with acute shyness, so interacting with people via the web is a great healing step. It's amazing what you can do from your computer when you are too afraid to leave the house!
hope your wishes come true!
