Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you feeling today? JOE: Much better than yesterday. CALLIOPE: How so? JOE: I think I was suffering from writing withdrawal for a while. Yesterday I wrote a column and worked on revisions for Marital Property. By the end of the day I felt like a writer again. CALLIOPE: Maybe you're right. Writing seems to have gotten into your bones. JOE: I seem lost without it. I think writing has become part of my identity. CALLIOPE: What are you working on today? JOE: I posted my column this morning and started work on Marital Property. I also visited a few writer sites and found I had neglected to post two stories, Child Bride and Or Not To Be on Writer's Cafe. I would like to get them up today as well. CALLIOPE: You seem to have plenty of irons in the fire. JOE: Astute observation. It's what keeps me feeling alive. Sometimes I wish I could just relax and not feel pressure to accomplish anything. CALLIOPE: Why don't you try it? JOE: Every time I do, I get restless after a day or two as I did this week. I guess I just need to keep busy. Talk with you tomorrow. |
