July’s edition of Writing Magazine came out with my usual ‘Beginners’ page, this one called ‘Hooked on Writing’.
It deals with the simple fact that for some, maybe a lot, writing isn’t merely something you do on the odd occasion you happen to find an empty keyboard and a few minutes to create something.
It’s far more fundamental than that; it’s more of an obsession, something you really have to do.
It’s a must-do kind of thing, not a will-do-when-I-get-round-to-it thing.
Life, of course, has to go on. But you have to juggle with it the best way you can. And sometimes that means making a few sacrifices. Which ones you choose depends on you, and how important your writing ambition is.
