Have You Ever Written Something and Thought.......????
My question is possibly a question writers ask themselves each day, week, month, year;
"What the heck is this garbage?"
I find myself getting into the groove, writing something my inner self says is "profound, multi-dimensional, gripping, moving!" And then I put it away, happy with myself. (You know where I am going with this).
I return to it to savor the tasty words that put into perspective a moving moment in my life that is to become the building block of my memoir and I am disgusted.
Okay, maybe disgusted is too strong a word. Maybe jaded and then disappointed. That is what first, second, third and eleventh drafts are for.
So, my writer friends, do not dispair. Do not feel you are alone and of course share your insight into the turmoil of writer challenges.
When all else fails, a little Pinot usually helps.

About Me

- I figured things out late in life, like what I wanted to do, getting married (age 30), having kids, (36 and 38) and changing degrees about 3 times. Now as a cop of 19 years and in my mid 40's, I am finally figuring out some things. My first career or dream of becoming a writer is playing more in my head and daily life than ever. I love it. Thus the blog. It is all mine. I also love being a mother. They are all ours. I love my husband and as a cop, wow.. have I seen some things. Street degree. I got it. Let us learn together. I also am on She Writes.
