Musings

It was onceย condescendingly implied to me that because of my unusual work history (Iโ€™ve never really worked a โ€œregularโ€ job), that I wouldnโ€™t be writing if I had to face the pressures of a 9-5 job. ย My answer to that is: ย Maybe. ย Anythingโ€™s possible. ย But Iโ€™m inclined to disagree. ย First off, many artistsโ€™ greatest works were manifested in periodsย of intense personal turmoil. ย So unless Iโ€™m working a job 7 days a week where I have no time to do anything but sleep and eat, then Iโ€™m going to create. ย Faced withย the glaring, undeniable presence of free time, I consider it nothing less than my duty.

  1. I couldn’t agree more. You make an excellent point in mentioning writers creating during personal turmoil.

  3. You know, funny thing – I’ve been blocked most of my life. Been going through a period of intense personal turmoil, recently, and now the block is mostly or partially gone, I can write.
