On my birthday I always remember this song. I saw it in a movie at some point and I really liked it. Long live Google, I found it, it is a movie from 1990 Problem Child. I don’t know how old I was when I saw it but I remember I really liked it and the song stuck with me. Things accompany us throughout our lives and it is interesting to see how we become who we are.
I can relate to this about picking it up and quitting. I seem to need a good muse to inspire me to write. If I write just to write it can get sloppy and bland. If I've got an inspiration I can really go. But it usually doesn't last very long. Some write so prolifically that it is as if they always have that muse. Now, someone recommended me on Substack. I have some that follow already. I say how is this? I have two articles. Now the pressure is on. What am I supposed to do. I've got old notes. I could go into old stuff. It is kind of neat, though, to finish an article and publish, isn't it? I'm into herbs and spices too. But there really is only a handful that are anything anyway. Back in the old days, you would have to use what grew nearby. This article, I'm right there with you. We don't have to write to the void anymore. Maybe it is good to write here. Even though I haven't learned to like sitting in front of this screen all day. Even half a day, or an hour. But sometimes that seems all there is to do. Write away!
Yeah Paul, the thing is that I would write even if nobody read me, have been for so many years, but it is so amazing to have somebody say they enjoyed what you wrote that I find it really encouraging. Best is to keep at it and give it what we can. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me! 💐
