I've always written - since I was a little only child, writing skits to make the family laugh. Hopefully, I've gotten a bit better over the years, but still, what else would I do with my "free" time?Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630091528364380402.post-2180695728212688022009-11-08T00:55:22.306-05:002009-11-08T00:55:22.306-05:00I love this post.

Haven't been able to answer this question for myself yet beyond the fact that really... it's just an impulse, an outlet, a necessary part of who I am like my eyeballs and my big toes. <br /><br />I left you a little candy on my blog...stop by and pick it up when you get a chance. :)<br /><br />~TaraTara Lindsay Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970258984995282462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630091528364380402.post-36399880016953927172009-11-07T12:48:15.164-05:002009-11-07T12:48:15.164-05:00I have one person I look to for feedback who is ed...I have one person I look to for feedback who is editing for me. His imput is very important to me (because I think he's a genuis). But, the real reason I write is my story alone. I owe the story a fair shake because it's a super idea and I feel like I'd let so many people down if I didn't tell it. Somehow it just wouldn't be fair to them or me.<br /><br />(I hate not being to edit these darn things!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884912115599229843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630091528364380402.post-52291799039372546942009-11-07T12:44:57.283-05:002009-11-07T12:44:57.283-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884912115599229843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630091528364380402.post-84373348189649869802009-11-07T10:03:21.293-05:002009-11-07T10:03:21.293-05:00Matt - I totally hear you.

I can't NOT write. I try. When the laundry reaches the ceiling and the kids are drinking out of jam jars, it would be really nice to turn this off. It doesn't work that way for me.<br /><br />Remember--at the end, Gigi turns out to be the exception.

I spent enough time by myself as a kid (not intentionally, but a function of a bunch of stuff) that I had to craft stories to keep myself entertained. Being a writer is just a natural extension of that. <br /><br />Except this time I'm telling other people the stories. And actually having them interested in reading them! So.
