Give Yourself the Gift of Time to Write
by Edie Melson
We writers are an odd lot.
by Edie Melson
We’re driven to write, spending
time composing poetry, writing books, researching articles. We doodle titles, character
names, and plot ideas on scraps of paper. All the while feeling guilty about the
time we spend pursuing our dream. I call it writer's guilt.
Everyone of us has felt the tug. it’s all part and parcel
when you work at home.
I’ve fought the battle for years—sometimes more successfully
than others. And the craziest thing is the guilt is pretty much self imposed.
My family is frequently more supportive of my writing time than I am.
