WRITING!
Writing isn't just about holding a pen and paper and turning letters into words, words into sentences and sentences into coherent thoughts.
Writing goes beyond developing plots and characters and building worlds or relationships.
Sometimes writing has nothing to do with the ACT of writing at all.
Sometimes writing is sitting in a folding chair staring at a dusty ceiling and counting the textured cracks in the acoustic tiles.
Its the Ritual of cleaning and office and stocking a snack tray. Lighting a candle or selecting the perfect play list.
Sometimes its typing the same word repetitively until your hands or swollen.
Its hob-knobing and marketing. Kissing babies and smiling for cameras.
Its blogging about what you're supposed to be doing and promoting what others are.
I am lucky. I get to work with some of the greatest names in the industry. So really, some times for me writing takes a back seat to " working with some of the greatest names in the industry".
And I love every minute of it.
I've recently partnered with Milana Howard to launch a blogtalk radio show ( aptly named the Drea and Milana Show) and I have to say-- its coming along nicely.
Once a week we sit and dish with the people we admire and love. We laugh, learn and grow.
And its all part of writing.
I hope you'll stop over this saturday at 6pm cst and give it a listen.
Its what the muses allow me to do when they aren't guiding me quill and it gives me immense pleasure.
Its rekindled my creativity and my love of the craft.
Stop in this week when we speak with Reana Malori, an author who much like Milana and myself, is relaunching her career behind the pen in 2014.
