What’s a nice girl like you doing write crap like that?
You don’t say it, but I know some of you are thinking it.
You’re probably thinking: If you’re going to spend all that time writing and writing and writing, why not at least TRY and write something meaningful? Thought-provoking? Something that might win awards and be studied in school? What’s with the pulp fiction?
The answer is, I don’t know.
I don’t know why I write what I write. I get a seed of an idea. I start writing. Sometimes it grows into something, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it grows branches, sprouts buds. Sometimes it dries up halfway and dies.
All I know is you can’t force what comes out. If you force it, it’s fake.
I love dancing to Lady Gaga. I love watching Criminal Minds. And I love my commercially-driven fiction.
Cheers to you Jenny! I don’t think you should have to “force” anything at all… in any job. And just for the record, I never once thought that. For a second. 🙂
Thanks Smelly with a belly! Means a lot!
(FYI readers. I’m not being mean to my cousin – Smelly is her nickname and she’s pregnant! LOL)
You may be a nice girl but you’re a nice girl with a scary imagination. Seriously!! I’m nervous sleeping next each night. 🙂
Now….this is truly cliche….but isn’t the whole point…to first write something meaningful to you….with the hope being through this meaning it will somehow touch a wider audience…based on what steve says it sounds like you are extremely skilled, and someday this WILL translate in the right way…either way, after having steve as a boss, i think that you are the one who should have trouble sleeping next to him each night!!
