Random thoughts on Writing

Random Thoughts

I wish I could write like some of the famous romance writers do. there is some serious money to be made there for sure. I think my "love letters from heaven" series is a good attempt at that kind of writing but it is just that... an attempt.

I've been told I should publish. I look at my writing and go "this stuff???" But the truth is I have no clue about how to go and find a publisher. I have no money so I can't pay anyone. I tried to join chicwit (www.worldwit.com chicago branch) to see if maybe someone there had ideas, but their registration system doesn't match my numbers up when I click the link to register *sigh*.

I have a fear lately and since i've blabbed all my personal garbage in two prior posts I may as well post this too... My fear is this... that I cannot have an active "real life" and an active "online life" at the same time. That I will have to give one up for the other, and that i will have to give up my online life soon. I need to be more active and right now I'm coming home to get right on that computer sometimes until I sleep. That's not going to help me. I have so many friends online and some very special people, that are part of my heart. It would break my heart to lose touch with them simply because i'm not online. So yea, that's my fear and quite honestly that alone is what stops me a LOT of times from doing what I need to do...

Random poetry

delve deeper
see past the mirror
through the smoke screen
do you see me?
I barely know myself
my heart so big
my hands so small
my fear my equal
look deeper
can you see?

I think that "activity" is a continuum, not an absolute. The question isn't whether you can be active in both but how active you want to be in each. If you sum up the activity you want, and it requires more time/energy than you have, then you have to make a choice.

Assume you really can't have an active "online life" and an active "real life" at the same time. Which do you want more? It may not be an easy decision, but it is simple. If it's true that you "wouldn't trade it for the world", that makes it easy, but I suspect that's hyperbole.

Anyway, good luck with that.

In my acquired wisdom I've accepted: 1. That it's OK to admit I like girly things 2. That it's OK I didn't post this ON...
