Writing Is Fun for Control Freaks

As I've noted here before, when you're first learning to write, you're going to write a ton of sheer and utter drivel! We all do; in fact, some of it will be downright laughable. Don't take yourself so seriously. Laugh it off and move on. Persist and one day you might discover a small gem sparkling amidst all that crap: something you can latch onto, examine and polish---something to be carefully faceted and mounted in an exquisite setting.

Above all else, don't get discouraged! Take it from someone who let herself do so and now regrets the time wasted.

Okay, enough of the soul-searching already. Let's be brutally honest: writing can be downright fun! And if you're a control-freak like me, writing is also very satisfying; I get to do it all! I'm the director, the script writer, the casting director, set designer, etc., etc.! Who the heck wouldn't want that much power???

Thanks for reading,
