That’s admirable, Jay. Thanks for commenting!

Cathy, while I find weeding somewhat therapeutic (and an excuse to listen to an audiobook), I truly dislike housework, so writing is a much more appealing option. I love that you sleep better thanks to writing — I wish I could make that claim!

Sandy

Tonja, you obviously have no choice. Is that a good feeling? Must be!

Sandy

Thanks, Theresa. Do you keep a notebook next to your bed so you can record some of those words when you wake up?

Sandy

Thanks, Nicole. But why do YOU write?

Sandy

“Why do you write?”
Alina’s question brought Roger’s thinking to a sudden stop. He had never considered the question. He had always wanted to write, as far back as he could remember. Thinking about it now, he realized that it was a valid question. Writing had brought him little pleasure over the years, and a lot of work, many late nights and an endless amount of frustration.
“I’m not really sure,” he replied slowly. “I suppose it fulfills me. It gives me a sense that I am creating something from myself that will endure for years. Possibly because it allows me to escape from the everyday, into a more interesting space, where the rules that I have to live by don’t apply. Perhaps it gives me the chance to live out someone else’s life. I’m not really sure.”
