I can't not write, but I don't think I can make it my full-time profession. I need to interact with people too much to allow myself to spend the majority of my time writing or marketing my writing and other activities at my computer. And having read your post I realize that accepting this is giving me even more joy in writing. Glad you're still writing and posting!Ramona Heikelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698592720587410097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-85592160853470821682013-06-17T08:31:16.467-07:002013-06-17T08:31:16.467-07:00Like you, I would rather write than promote!

I just finished reading an interview with a book agent and she was insistent that any aspiring author nowadays must have a good "platform", i.e., an on-line presence, such as a popular blog, large Twitter following, plus lots of networking at writers' conferences, etc. I felt exhausted just reading about it. <br /><br />I'll stick to blogging for now, I think. It seems to be where God has me at the moment. It's very encouraging to read that you have some similar feelings, Lorrie.Marcia Jansonhttp://marcia-rolling.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-67154639139165137422013-06-13T15:20:31.747-07:002013-06-13T15:20:31.747-07:00Your post resonates with many of us - published or...Your post resonates with many of us - published or not. For those of us with writing 'in our blood' it is not a matter of whether someone else will ever read what is written. it is the writing process itself - the need to express oneself in words - that makes us writers.

Writing is always my 'go to' for whatever is going on in my life.<br /><br />I like that sentence, 'writing clears and makes sense of the mazy muddle that can be my mind."<br /><br />So much of my own writings are meant for individuals. My favourite writing genre is letter writing (or the modern email and blog comments). That's what gives me the greatest joy.<br /><br />So the writing may not be 'published' but in truth it's often reached its audience of one.<br />Just as important as ten thousand.<br /><br />Lorrie, I've always been drawn to your writings... here or on your own blog, So I'm glad to learn that writing makes you content.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-10661643790340366342013-06-12T04:17:07.151-07:002013-06-12T04:17:07.151-07:00I SO relate to these words.
