I'd never thought about God "taking away" my stories, but the Bible does mention taking away our "talents" if we don't exercise them like we should.<br /><br />You know, your #firstworldproblem reminds me of a line from <em>Fiddler on the Roof</em>: If riches are a curse, "may the Lord smite me with it! And may I never recover!"<br /><br />Good luck with perpetual NaNo, Tiffany!Jordan McCollumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523599384793856702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-52997095292656344672012-11-18T22:30:47.754-05:002012-11-18T22:30:47.754-05:00So, so true!

Yes, many of us would LOVE to have the problem of being contractually obligated to produce words month after month. However the reality is much different from the dream; the anxiety of knowing that some authority is expecting something from you can greatly hamper the creative process that is necessary to fulfill that demand.<br /><br />Both #FirstWorldProblems and #SuccessfulWriterProblems are still very real problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-39136139256885903042012-11-15T12:55:23.517-05:002012-11-15T12:55:23.517-05:00That is the wackiest and most awesome line from Mi...That is the wackiest and most awesome line from Michael Jackson. I kind of love it. I've been there and I get it. I've had characters in my head prevent me from reading a book to the point I at least have to jot some notes down if I'm too tired to boot up the laptop. Fortunately for me, my husband is a musician and he gets artistic ambition. He encourages me to let dishes pile up and will fix me dinner if it means I'm making progress in my writing. <br /><br />Great post, as always. I bookmarked the Han Solo one, btw. It was my kind of inspiration.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-23074924338982020502012-11-15T10:16:29.819-05:002012-11-15T10:16:29.819-05:00LOL.

My mom suggested I just turn it off because I was getting stressed by what I was writing. I told her that it wasn't possible to turn off. I don't think she understood.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, this is so profoundly true.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115544398840204484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-61971284944798947752012-11-15T09:59:19.423-05:002012-11-15T09:59:19.423-05:00You are definitley a great writer..knowing that yo...You are definitley a great writer..knowing that you care that much and work that much harder has and will take you on a great journey..please keep writing so i can keep readingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08763842282577917231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-29760931805468689842012-11-15T09:59:06.014-05:002012-11-15T09:59:06.014-05:00You are definitley a great writer..knowing that yo...You are definitley a great writer..knowing that you care that much and work that much harder has and will take you on a great journey..please keep writing so i can keep readingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08763842282577917231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-16937359898115072612012-11-15T09:38:35.015-05:002012-11-15T09:38:35.015-05:00So relating to this right now.

Hubby had to turn off the power to fix the non-working-for-two-days furnace. <br /><br />"Oh, all right then," I grumbled. <br /><br />Priorities, right?<br /><br />And I didn't go to sleep, no! I huddled in bed reading three chapters by flashlight.<br /><br />OK, you can stamp crazy on my forehead now. :)<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324491231695823916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-16006550959072251102012-11-15T07:59:12.626-05:002012-11-15T07:59:12.626-05:00You cry with exhaustion as you write.

Yes you're a writer and it's hard and it's a job, but what emerges is wonderful. So type, damn you! Type your fingers to bloody stubs! And when the words are out you can then ask Andrew for a hand massage and for him to kiss you better (we love Andrew too!) ;) [Rosie]FANGBOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07839519798942417549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-69708149847841239402012-11-15T07:16:17.448-05:002012-11-15T07:16:17.448-05:00That line will resonate with me forevah!
