Comments on: If Only All You Had To Do Was Write http://www.sfnovelists.com/2007/11/15/if-only-all-you-had-to-do-was-write/ A mutual support group for SF/F Novelists Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:58:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Thomas http://www.sfnovelists.com/2007/11/15/if-only-all-you-had-to-do-was-write/#comment-1123 Thomas Wed, 28 Nov 2007 02:09:11 +0000 http://www.sfnovelists.com/2007/11/15/if-only-all-you-had-to-do-was-write/#comment-1123 I'm new to this blog and am by no means a published author, but I thought I'd chime in anyway and offer a comment. I also thought when I was younger that being a writer meant being dressed in your jammies and hammering out story after story on your typewriter. Since becoming addicted to C-Span's Book TV and seeing the trails and travails of authors being dragged across the nation to sign books, I found that I was sadly wrong. Ah, well at least it was good fiction while it lasted. I’m new to this blog and am by no means a published author, but I thought I’d chime in anyway and offer a comment.

Sadly reality has yet to live up to that vision. I must admit, my visions of the writing life included minions who would deal with the mundane realities of life, freeing me up to create.

Forgot we were reading opposite each other. How'd it go? And on 11/12, it isn't clear whether the Crash is from throwing self from roof, or just, yanno exhaustion. Both? Oh!
