Then I won't write because I'll just sit there and listen to the lyrics over and over and over again. <br /><br />Wow, I'm picky. It's a miracle I write at all.L. T.

But lately I do feel like money would provide a certain sense of security that would allow me to pursue my writing goals more successfully. (If you have any spare cash, please let me know.) I also think the opportunity to think clearly is critical.Davin Malasarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385823575081492949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999955171519602518.post-58734113507359207902011-05-16T20:09:13.913-07:002011-05-16T20:09:13.913-07:00Love that quote!

I shall need it.<br /><br />Yvonne --You're right. I think by "money" she mostly meant "time" and maybe "not-being-too-hungry-or-stressed-about-other-things-to-concentrate". I am often amazed by writers who manage to create beautiful books without those things.<br /><br />L.G. --I would steal your idea of making it a sign if I had my own door to hang it on.

I don't need much money because I have divested myself of debt and "things" and I no longer frequent malls and such. But I do need insurance. I work for the insurance, and I know I'm not alone in that pathetic state of affairs.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999955171519602518.post-38991039786478196802011-05-16T08:52:41.886-07:002011-05-16T08:52:41.886-07:00Quiet aloneness where I don't dread somebody b...Quiet aloneness where I don't dread somebody beckoning me for some purpose I'm most likely ill-suited for.
