Write Every Day

Writing every day is a great way to keep your balance in this busy world.


Life is busy. Life is unbalanced. Life is chaotic. Life is ever-changing. All of these facts have been brought home to me again in the past few months, after a dear uncle die suddenly, other family crises occured, and I contemplated moving house again.



Certainly these facts are nothing new. They are as constant as the rising sun, but there are times in your life when life hits you like a hammer smashing into your skull. You fall, and are stunned by your inability to pick yourself up. When you do, finally, get back on your feet, you understand some other constants, as well. That life goes on and that, as a writer, one of the best ways of getting yourself going again is to write.



We are very lucky, as writers, to have this gift that we not only share with others, but which helps us get through the difficult times and to celebrate the great ones.



I recently re-read a terrific book about writing, which I’ve reviewed and placed online. It’s called Zen in the Art of Writing, by Ray Bradbury (of Fahrenheit 451 fame). If you get a chance, check out my review, and the book. It’s a keeper, and another way to pick yourself up when you are down.
