the writing life

...is not one that i have been living for quite awhile now. and that's what i do. i live in perpetual fear of meeting other writers who may ask me that scary and exhilarating question, "What are you writing?" The last thing that I wrote professionally was a blog about Mayo Clinic. maybe it sounds boring, but i loved it. but there's only so much that can be said about Mayo Clinic before you wonder if you're plumbing. Besides I got paid by how interested readers were in my blog. And there was no one interested except me. If i could have paid myself, I really would have. i guess that's a good thing, to be interested in your own writing. so i ask you a zen question, does it matter if no one else likes your writing? only if you're getting paid, which I imagine is the reason that I'm writing this blog right now.
