Writemex

Fear and loathing and a good bit of love in my writing life.

Name:
Location: New Mexico, United States

I've been a writer since the age of three, beginning with the oral tradition of storytelling. My first audient was my younger brother. He was reluctant. I remember lying on him in the back of the family Buick, on a trip from Iowa to Texas in 1949, to insure his full attention to my tale.

Writing or Avoiding?

If I am blogging about writing, am I actually writing? Or is this an avoidance tactic a bit more sophisticated than washing the dishes or eating, less social than holding my capless uniball fine point on the patio at Starbucks in Santa Fe or going to Los Muertos Beach in Puerto Vallarta, my lonely notebook buried in my bag under sunscreen and other non-writing essentials. I think if I consulted my writing coach, Karen Blomain, whose Personal Writing Workshop I attended in Eyeries, Ireland last month, she'd say yes. Yes, you are writing! Okay then let's blog!
