Writing is hard. Writing is really, really hard. It's labor intensive, it's painful, it's exhausting, it's soul-sucking. Writers are a bunch of masochists. What other explanation is there for why we put ourselves through this?
Fun.
At least, it should be a reason. And to be honest, I've lost sight of that a little. That's part of why I'm taking this break to just goof off. I need to relearn to enjoy myself and my writing. I think fun is the key I'm missing, the key that will unlock the door to being a better writer.
Isn't that what we all want? I know it's what I want. I am always looking for new ways to learn to be a better writer.
And I'm certainly not opposed to having a good time while I do it.
Work hard, play hard!
