It’s funny how much better my life looks when I am writing.
I often think this is all I should be doing, but the marketing side of our business needs to be addressed too, unfortunately.
When I am writing, I love the glimmer of light that surrounds me, in a world determined to get darker every minute. It reminds me that I am lucky to be able to write, where many others cannot.
Having lived, (and I use that term reservedly) on this planet for nearly eighty years, I thought I had encountered most of the different aspects of a life well lived.
I would go as far as to say that my life has had more than its fair share of pain, heartache, and disappointments. But apparently not, I suspect it is saving a few surprises for me before my time is up.
I always thought that my old age would be a quiet, peaceful time, free to reflect and relax. A time to enjoy the freedom from everyday stresses.
Sometimes, my life is just like that, but not very often.
When it is like that, I can forget this world for a while and explore the worlds that my characters live in.
How lucky am I?
I’m with you on writing takes us away from ourselves and our current situations, just like a good book. 🙂 xx
I have nearly finished the current WIP, I hope I feel the same about editing it. If not, I will have to think of a new story and quick, Debby…
‘…It’s funny how much better my life looks when I am writing….’ Ain’t it the truth! 😀
Pity about everything else though…
I’ve been thinking about getting older lately, and I realised something – those of us who embraced computing, are so much luckier than those who avoided the dread pc. We can escape into a world where we have friends at our finger tips, where we can chat about ideas, where we can explore new worlds, or just play.
It’s freedom of a sort our parents’ generation could not even have imagined.
-hugs-
… and every day, I am grateful that I managed to master it… Don’t tell my family, but most of the time I prefer that world to my own!
Keep writing and your life will keep being good, Jaye!
Sad to think that is the only thing of value that I enjoy, but grateful nonetheless, Miriam…
Yes, we’re grateful for whatever we have, Jaye.
Although some people don’t seem to be, and that is sad…
A positive way to look at things when life throws a bucket of icy water over you.

Both reading and writing can take us away from real life troubles.
This is true, but coming back to everything is horrible…

I love this post. 🙂 And I hope you’re having a great day!
As always, I am doing my best, Kymber…
Wonderful sentiments.
