Do I Write Seriously?

You know how life just seems to roll along? You do the things you need to do every day. Or you do the things that you seem are important and will propel you and your career forward. Then you read some innocent words or see something just as innocent on television or hear something on the radio and within seconds your life is turned, shaken and spit at your feet for you to ponder. I read those innocent words yesterday and it has caused me to ponder and reflect and ask too many questions without finding the answers. So my dear blog readers I want to put this to you. Don

    Gail Fortune, then an editor for Berkley Pub. and now an agent, once asked me if I ever wrote anything serious. I replied, “I am very serious about my writing, but I never write anything very serious.” I later heard that she quoted me atan RWA convention in Texas. One of my brief “almost moments of fame.”
    I agree with you about there being humor (and ideas) in daily life. The ideas are a dozen an hour, at least.

  2. That unread stack of books on my nightstand is why I had to become very selective about the editing jobs I take. I do read at least a chapter or two every night, but it seems I have as many reading obligations as I do writing and editing.

    As for the serious part, there will always be humor in anything I write. I even joke about the hair-pulling issue in SYMMETRY. (I’m allowed since I have it myself.) I always knew there was a reason God gave me enough hair for three people–so I could pull it out and write about it!

  3. You are one of the most truly gifted writers of our times. You have such a singularly humorous look at the world that is so desperatly needed in our era of strife and turbulence. So many people live lives of quiet desperation while their inner being screams to be noticed and your writing truly touches alot of us and gives us so much joy that our lives are lacking.
    Never second guess your talents and know that you touch so many people with your writing and you make it easier to face the new day.
    I know you have touched my soul and I thank God that he put you on earth.

    Your number one fan.

  4. Well Mr. Snowman, I have to disagree….because I am her NUMBER ONE FAN!!!! Seeing you almost everyday, I know that you are serious about whether your stories creates laughter. If you were too serious, you would not be you….DON’T EVER QUESTION WHAT YOU DO IF IT BRINGS YOU JOY! I know that every time you hear me bust out laughing from some crazy story that you wrote…you are full of joy and mission is accomplished…..so through that ugly word out of your dictionary, it does not pertain to some people and you are one that it does not pertain too…..HUGS!
