Here ...You invited your readers to make a comment. Here is mine: Well written. What else can I say? Other than, "I know Stephen King personally, and I will give him a call and set up a meeting between him and you." I wish I could say that, but unfortunately I cannot. But I do sincerely hope you get to meet Mr. King some day. -- MikeBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-17250447806594320742010-03-28T14:16:37.189-07:002010-03-28T14:16:37.189-07:00I love writing, too.

I do find that I fall out of the habit though, so your honest "get off your butt and do it" attitude probably would benefit me.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485646970090858379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-60095806630406347372010-03-24T00:30:33.499-07:002010-03-24T00:30:33.499-07:00I just started reading your blog and I see that it...I just started reading your blog and I see that it's all kinds of fun. I'm glad you shared your link on Facebook.<br /><br />This article you wrote about writing is right on the money. For those of us that aren't making money it's really hard to treat it like a job, because most of us have jobs as well as other daily life things to worry about. <br /><br />I've done a lot of writing, and a lot of artwork in my life. I've always wanted to be able to make money off of what I'm doing. At the beginning of the year I decided to get serious about my artwork and started publishing my illustration every day on my blog. <br /><br />I'm still not being paid for my artwork but I feel like I have a clear plan of what I want to do. I can see myself getting a little closer every day to my goal of being published. It can be a real pain to work on it and it can really suck sometimes. It's nice to read blogs like yours, because they have these nice little kicks in the pants for people like me.Dani Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02122903432509584522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862416548190982630.post-88377741678259111372010-03-23T13:37:31.153-07:002010-03-23T13:37:31.153-07:00Love Anne Lamott--every word she has ever written!...Love Anne Lamott--every word she has ever written! Have never read anything by Mr. King. I know, was I born yesterday under a rock?!?!?!?<br /><br />As a writer, I find that I can do an amazing amount of unnecessary things before I ever sit down to write--stupid procrastination things like check out people.com for the millionth time--have to keep up with all those people! Sometimes, I'll even clean just to avoid writing, and like you, once I get going, I even kind of like it.<br /><br />Being your own task master is not always easy, but I do love the perks that come with it. I also love that you simultaneously encouraged me to write and not be discouraged that I procrastinate--I like belonging to that "all writers do it" camp!

The books you recommended are the same two I suggest to all writers regardless of where stand at this amazing world of prose.<br /><br />I too have found myself doing a million other things besides what I love. Of course reading a good book or a good blog can get you right back on your path.<br /><br />Thankscherilyndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410219531801258475noreply@blogger.com
