Note: I originally wrote this in April – just before my website was taken down. I hope you will enjoy it now as much as you would have then.
During one of the panels at Minicon 47, there was a snippet of conversation that really intrigued me. This was one of the many panels devoted to some aspect of writing (I don’t remember which one) so the panel was made up of writers.
Abby tried to relax. “He’s remembering things that never happened.”
“I’m not crazy,” Chris yelled at her. “You’re a liar.”
“Nutcase.”
“Bimbo.”
This summer, I have decided to make a go of being a professional writer and urban farmer. Normally I would work summer school and pretend that I would use my extra free time to do more writing, but it never seemed to work out like that. For one thing, summer school means getting up early and heading off to work, just like the regular school year. No time for gardening in the cool morning air that way.
“It will only cost you your soul. No biggy.” – EP Beaumont
This quote came up during a giggle session when EP and I were writing together. I don’t remember the exact context, but the general gist of the conversation was about writing, and the things you do for your craft. I think about this kind of quote a lot when it comes to writing. What is it we who must write give up.
It’s been a while since I’ve written here. As you can see there are no archives for you to look back and see when. That’s because my website got hacked. Someone out there thought it would be a good idea to take over my site and have it collect information for them. I’m not sure what they thought they were going to get out of my site, or if they even thought of that at all.
